Tips

• If you happened to download your Profile ZIP file on Mac OS X, and it automatically extracted the ZIP file into a folder, be aware that the import feature will likely not work correctly (bundle exec thor snapshot:import /media/vboxshared/user.zip).
  You will get an error like this:

importing user... /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/pathname.rb:763:in ``read': No such file or directory - /tmp/tempfilepath20110219-1700-xn9xxw-0/user.json (Errno::ENOENT)

Restructure the ZIP file so that all your files (i.e. user.json) are in the root of the ZIP file, and it will work correctly.

• • It should look something like this if it worked correctly:

unzipping snapshot... importing user... importing user preferences... importing inbox attachments... importing account-merchant-tag stats... importing merchants... importing financial institutions... importing securities... importing accounts... importing attachments... importing targets... associating transfers... done! You can now log in as [email protected] with this Wesabe installation.

• If you need help sharing your ZIP file onto your nested Ubuntu machine, check out this YouTube video:

• Once your machine is running, feel free to go native; you can sign in to your Mesabe from the Host OS, and minimize the VirtualBox:

• • Go to terminal and type ifconfig eth0
• • Take that IP address and type the IP i.e. http://10.0.0.0:3000/login into your host OS' browser (i.e. Chrome/Firefox.) Enjoy!

• Highly recommend enabling dual-core CPUs in Virtualbox (if you have physical CPUs available to you), as well as giving the system ~1.6GB RAM +.
