[CWB] CQPweb in a box - problems with uploading files

[José Manuel Martínez Martínez]

Hi Andrew,

I am helping our colleague to get this working. We found out the shared 
folders are mounted by default in /media. However, the mount point is 
empty. Therefore, we have done the following:

1. to configure the VM to share a host folder with the guest

http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders

2. to mount the folder using the information in the virtualbox documentation

At this stage we can see in the expected mount point the contents of the 
shared folder. But whenever we click on a subfolder we get a permission 
error message.

I assume that CQPwebInABox comes with the guest additions installed, 
doesn't it? Should we update the guest additions?

We have also tried to add 'user' to the group 'vboxsf', but it didn't help.

Just for the record, I have installed a clean Ubuntu distro (15.10) and 
followed the same procedure installing the guest additions and it works 
fine for me.

Best,

jmm
