virtualbox.org

Hi gang,

I'm currently running an XP Virtualbox on a Ubuntu 8.10 host. I've tried a few different methods to access my (Ubuntu) Apache server through my VB, but with only very fickle & unreliable success.

I'm sure this must be a common problem, but I can't seem to find any solution: how do I provide access to an Apache Server through a Virtual Box? I can access the relevant (/var/www) folder, but can't seem to get it working.

The machine in question is a laptop, and I need to be able to access the (local) server through the VB when not connected to the internet. Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Section 6.7 of the VBox user guide pretty much explains what you need.
Adapter (1) host-only
Adapter (2) bridged.

Lotsa thanks - MUCH easier than I thought.
