Forgot how to portforward

[Slayer00]

About year ago or so I had Apache under Windows XP virtualbox portforwaded to port 8080 and now I'm trying to do the same on Ubuntu but... I forgot where I'm supposed to enter the commands into.. Also forgot what the name was for Apache to be used in the command.

I found these on the net but.. Don't know if they are correct;

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata nameofyourguest "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/HostPort" 2222
VBoxManage setextradata nameofyourguest "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/GuestPort" 22
VBoxManage setextradata nameofyourguest "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/Protocol" TCP


VBoxManage setextradata nameofyourguest "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/postgresql/HostPort" 5432
VBoxManage setextradata nameofyourguest "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/postgresql/GuestPort" 5432
VBoxManage setextradata nameofyourguest "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/postgresql/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata nameofyourguest "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/http/HostPort" 8080
VBoxManage setextradata nameofyourguest "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/http/GuestPort" 80
VBoxManage setextradata nameofyourguest "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/http/Protocol" TCP

They are no longer correct for recent versions. In case you forget again, they are always in the User Manual. It's currently set to this:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --natpf1 "guestssh,tcp,,2222,,22"

Where do I write that command into?

[Sasquatch]

You know how you created the first rules, did you not? It is in the manual. It's a command line thing. Make sure you're in the VB install folder or have it added to your path variable.

[Slayer00]

It only asks for OS, hard drive, RAM when I create new one.. No commandline or rules anywhere.

See Chapter 6.3.1. Configuring port forwarding with NAT in your VirtualBox users guide.

Press F1 in the main VirtualBox program or click help -> contents.

[Slayer00]

Instead of forwarding me into guides... Could you just tell me where I write the commands into?

[Sasquatch]

Instead of complaining, why not read the replies here?

It's a command line thing. Make sure you're in the VB install folder or have it added to your path variable.

Maybe that's big enough for you to read?

[Slayer00]

What command line "thing"?
Where do I make sure I have added VB install folder/path? The command?
Where do I write this command into?


The guide only tells me what the command is, it doesn't tell where I need write it into.

[Sasquatch]

It appears you can't use Google to search for "command line windows" or something. Just press the windows logo key + r, then type cmd. Voila, a command line.

[Slayer00]

Aha... Finally.

I was unsure if it was cmd.exe or something built-in to VirtualBox.


Thanks for (finally) telling me where to write the commands into.
I got it working now.

EDIT: Whats the (new?) command for apache?
