Download and install Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Download the VirtualBox Extension Pack for your Distribution and for your Virtualbox version: vboxmanage --version. For example
~# vboxmanage --version 4.1.18_Debianr78361 #(found this version in Extension Pack Link for All Platforms, in VirtualBox 4.1.18: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_1) wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.18/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.18-78361.vbox-extpack
Install the Extension Pack with: VBoxManage extpack install. For example for my 4.1.18_Debianr78361
sudo VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.18-78361.vbox-extpack
Create the file /etc/default/virtualbox and add the user. I am using the user 'cuckoo' created by the script, this user must be in vboxusers
VBOXWEB_USER=cuckoo
Download and install phpVirtualbox: An open source, AJAX implementation of the VirtualBox user interface written in PHP. As a modern web interface, it allows you to access and control remote VirtualBox instances. phpVirtualBox is designed to allow users to administer VirtualBox in a headless environment mirroring the VirtualBox GUI through its web interface.

Install packages
sudo apt-get install nginx php5-common php5-mysql php5-fpm php-pear unzip
Start ngnix
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
Enable php in ngnix config.
Reload nginx
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload
Install the last phpVirtualBox and extract it in the nginx web. phpVirtualBox versioning is aligned with VirtualBox versioning in that the major and minor release numbers will maintain compatibility
phpVirtualBox 4.0-x will always be compatible with VirtualBox 4.0.x. Regardless of what the latest x revision is. phpVirtualBox 4.2-x will always be compatible with VirtualBox 4.2.x, etc.. for VirtualBox 4.3 - phpvirtualbox-4.3-x.zip for VirtualBox 4.2 - phpvirtualbox-4.2-x.zip for VirtualBox 4.1 - phpvirtualbox-4.1-x.zip for VirtualBox 4.0 - phpvirtualbox-4.0-x.zip
I am using Virtualbox 4.1.18_Debianr78361 and I found a version for my version: phpvirtualbox-4.1-11.zip http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/files/Older%20versions/
Download and extract the CORRECT phpvirtualbox version for your Virtualbox version in the nginx public web path
cd /usr/share/nginx/www sudo wget -L -c http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/files/Older%20versions/phpvirtualbox-4.1-11.zip/download -O phpvirtualbox.zip sudo unzip phpvirtualbox.zip
Copy the config sample like default config
cd phpvirtualbox-4.1-11 sudo cp config.php-example config.php
Edit config.php and add the cuckoo user
var $username = 'cuckoo'; var $password = '12345';
Start vboxweb service using the same user of the config.php of the phpVirtualbox. In my (old) Virtualbox version you can use this command
su cuckoo vboxwebsrv -H 127.0.0.1 --background
And for new versions
sudo VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary default sudo /etc/init.d/vboxweb-service restart
Access to the phpvirtualbox web, the default password and user for the web is admin.

Install a RDP Client to access to virtual machines (you can use the Windows Remote Desktop client).
