[Solved] PhpVirtualBox doesn't work

I use VirtualBox OSE edition and it works standalone, but if I use PhpVirtualBox,  nothing shows in the browser:

My LAMP works fine, also, because I host several websites with it.

I followed Wiki, to configure VirtualBox OSE and PhpVirtualBox.

Wiki quote:

If you are using the OSE edition, do something like this on your virtualbox running machine.
vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null --pidfile /var/run/vbox/vboxwebsrv.pid --host 127.0.0.1
If you are using the UEL edition, there is already a vboxweb script in /etc/rc.d, what you need is adjusting the settings in /etc/conf.d/vboxweb and then start it like the other daemon.
For OSE users, you can also use these scripts form UEL edition package, just put the vboxweb.conf into /etc/conf.d and the vboxweb.rc into /etc/rc.d, you can get them from the virtualbox_bin AUR page.
In the /etc/conf.d/vboxweb, you should take care of VBOXWEB_USER variable which should be set to the system username running the the vboxwebsrv command.
Check that this user is in group vboxusers.

If I run:

vboxwebsrv -b --logfile /dev/null --pidfile /var/run/vbox/vboxwebsrv.pid --host 127.0.0.1

I got:

...
 vboxwebsrv: error: failed to daemonize, rc=VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. exiting.

But it is OK to run not as daemon

vboxwebsrv --logfile /dev/null --pidfile /var/run/vbox/vboxwebsrv.pid --host 127.0.0.1

.. and the browser shows nothing (see upper screenshot)

Any help?

PP: I'm also confused where to put configurations like "VBOXWEB_USER". Currently I put it in /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg. There is no such file as /etc/conf.d/vboxweb
