How to start Nginx after shared folder mounted on VirtualBox

Recently, I set up a new developing environment in a VirtualBox VM. The source code shares between the host and VM by shared folder. It causes a problem that the config file can not be found when Nginx is starting up.

Nginx can not find the specific config file which is in the mounted folder from the host

I searched on Google and found some related posts.

If Nginx does not start after rebooting the server” points out the correct direction of the solution, however, the changes of method 1 mentioned in the article is not working for VirtualBox, and personally, I don’t like the method 2.

While, “How to mount shared folder from VirtualBox at boot time in Debian” describes the mount must happen after vboxadd-service.service started.

Combine this two posts, the solution would be obvious.

Solution

Change the line /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nginx.service in the configuration file of Nginx in VM

After=network.target

Adding vboxadd-service.service

After=network.target vboxadd-service.service

Reboot the VM.

Check Nginx running status with the following command

sudo service nginx status
Nginx started successfully after changes

Solved!

Ubuntu升级内核到2.6.28-14后VritualBox不能启动的问题

国内镜像源不知道是不是都有问题,几天前就提示可以升级,但总也找不到linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic这个的依赖包(404错误)。索性换到了主站上更新。

一切顺利,速度也不差……

然后麻烦来了,VritualBox3.0.2无法启动。提示:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Re-setup the kernel module by executing

‘/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup’

折腾了半天,最后发现解决办法爆简单:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.28-14-generic

然后

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

就可以了。
