adding explanations 

  
  This seems to work getting an upgraded Wheezy main-server working again (no need to generate a new gosa.conf):
  
-  1. cat /dev/null > /etc/gosa/gosa.secrets
+  1. sudo cat /dev/null > /etc/gosa/gosa.secrets. 
+  1. This can be done running 'sudo cat /dev/null > /etc/gosa/gosa.secrets' in a command console. 
-  1. take the random cleartext password from gosa.conf.orig and put it instead of the encrypted long one into gosa.conf (actually twice: adminPassword and snapshotAdminPassword)
+  1. take the random cleartext password from gosa.conf.orig and put it instead of the encrypted long one into gosa.conf (actually twice: adminPassword and snapshotAdminPassword). 
-  1. restart apache2
+  1. You can use 'pico' text exitor in the command shell doing that on the server which runs on VirtualBox. E.g copying the original adminPassword and snapshotAdminPassword from gosa.conf.org by using the 'sudo less /etc/gosa/gosa.conf.org' command in the server command console, and put that password in the gosa.conf file by using 'sudo pico /etc/gosa/gosa.conf'. 
+  1. restart apache2 with 'sudo serice apache2 restart' in the server command console. 
  
  From a security point of view it's probably more than dubious...
  Maybe gosa-encrypt-passwords has to be adjusted.
