can't access shared folder via browser (ubuntu server on win 10)

[doroness]

I have a ubuntu server as guest on win 10 host
I'am working with this - a lynda tutorial "Up and Running with Linux for PHP Developers" by Jon Peck
as instructed in the tutorial I:

1. set up my host file to

   127.0 .0 .1 sandbox.dev

2. on the VM settings > network setup port forwarding - (host port) 8080 > (guest port) 80
3. set up a shered folder via virtual box
4. installed VirtualBox Guest Additions
5. configured group permissions for access
6. configured the Apache web server

when I use the browser to get to my local host

sandbox.dev

I get Not Found
when I use the browser to get to

sandbox.dev/server-status

I see apache server is OK

when I type

ls -la /media

cd /media/sf_sendbox

I Get access to the folder and can see it's content (index.php)

What am I doing wrong? How can I debug this so I could get access to the shard folder via the browser?

THANKS

This appears to be an issue with your browser or tutorial you are using. I would seek their assistance unless you can prove this is a VirtualBox issue which should be backed up with actual diagnostic information.

It probably is - I Just thought maybe someone can point me to a solution or help me figure out what is the issue
