Hi!

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 as Host and Xubuntu as Guest System...
On the VM installed the Apache Server and it works fine when call localhost on the guest system.
Because i also want to use the Server from my Host-System I have tried to portforeward port 80 by entering these commands into the commandline of my host-system:

Code: Select all

alex@AlexLinux:~$ VBoxManage setextradata "Server" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/Lun#0/Config/apache/GuestPort" 80

alex@AlexLinux:~$ VBoxManage setextradata "Server" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/Lun#0/Config/apache/HostPort" 8080

But now when I enter "localhost:8080" in Firefox(on Host-System) nothing happens, PortScan also doesn't show this Port as open...

Did I something wrong oder did I forget something?


Sorry for my bad english! And thanks for your help!!!

Did you really enable the first network adapter of that VM for NAT?
