libvirt- | VirtualBox- | .. PHP-Frontend

Hi there,

I'm desperate looking for any kind of php-frontend for any virtualization-software. Because VirtualBox first came to my mind I started with that and found phpvirtualbox which seems like the thing I want but apparently I had authorization-problems with the built-in rdp (vrdp) software (it only worked on the local linux install, windows showed me some undefined error..).
I haven't gave  up on that, but the next thing I thought was, that maybe something related to libvirt would be a more general approach. So I found virtubuilder, which unfortunately seems to be 1) really old, 2) not administered by anybody and 3) I haven't succeeded in installing it (dunno why, something python related although I used python2).

So my final question:
Does anyone know any kind of php-frontend to manage vm's with, which I haven't thought of / found already?

Greetings
Martin

What do you mean by windows showed an undefined error? Were you running windos as a host? If yes did you make sure to change the rdp port of the guest since if you didnt it would try to rdp to your local (windows) session.

To martin_herndl:

Hi Martin,
some time ago I've created the libvirt-php bindings and also I started working on php-virt-control project. I guess the project may be the think you're looking for. Please refer to [1] and [2].

it's using the libvirt virtualization toolkit/API to connect to and it's the bindings for PHP scripting language.

Hope this helps!
Michal

@MigNov: You have noticed that the last post of this thread is over 2 years old ?

The php-virt stuff looks cool anyway....
