I have used the commands in the manual for portforwarding. I want to be able to connect from my host machine to the JBoss install running inside the VM.

When I use Links in the VM: links http://localhost:8080, JBoss page shows up. When I use firefox on my host machine, http://localhost:8080, gives an error immediately. No firewall running inside VM nor on host.

What could be the problem?

There's a known problem with VBox 2.1.0 NAT port forwarding, but 1.6.6 should be fine. What does the CFGM dump report? Look for the [/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/jbossdefault] key.

Hi Terry,

thanks for your reply. This might be stupid, but: what is a CFGM dump? How can I create one? "locate -i cfgm" returns no results, search on google and virtualbox.org doesn't help either..

Thanks,

Martin

Sorry Martin, you've never had a look at your VBox.log? The Configuration Management Section of the log (CGFM Dump) enumerates the configuration actually loaded into the VM.

ouch!

Code: Select all

01:28:52.834 [/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/jbossdefault/] (level 6)
01:28:52.834   Protocol  <string>  = "TCP" (cch=4)
01:28:52.834   GuestPort <integer> = 0x0000000000001f90 (8080)
01:28:52.834   HostPort  <integer> = 0x0000000000001f90 (8080)

So that's ok?

My corresponding host:8080->guest:80 gives:

Code: Select all

00:00:05.104 [/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestwww/] (level 6)
00:00:05.104   Protocol  <string>  = "TCP" (cch=4)
00:00:05.104   GuestPort <integer> = 0x0000000000000050 (80)
00:00:05.104   HostPort  <integer> = 0x0000000000001f90 (8080)

The think that leaps out at me is that my VM takes 5 sec to get to this (on a 1.8Ghz laptop) and yours takes 89 sec. Something seems wrong here.

Ouch again!

Found the issue: I have another VM running, so I tried to connect from that VM to the jboss one. Didn't work either. So I expected that jboss only listens to localhost, which is true.. now I bind jboss to it's external interface and it works

Thanks for your support!
