Hi
I'm a new user
I've installed apache2 but how do I navigate to this server to test.
It said I had to go to the ip adress but none of the ip adresses work.

How do I navigate to my linux apache server (virtualbox) using safari (mac)?

How have you configured the networking in the vm? What is its IP address? Where is the Mac you want to connect from? What is its IP?

There is nothing magical about virtual networks. The same rules apply as in physical networks.

Try to run ifconfig in your vbox linux, find “inet addr:” string, then direct your Safari browser to the address specified there. If it doesn't work you either didn't setup your VM or apache properly. In this case we would need more information on your network and/or apache setup.
