Then I made a login to the guest system and play a little with apache, browsing etc…<\/p>\n
My expectation was I’ll be able to browse the guest apache from the host system.<\/p>\n
It does not work by default installation :(… so, I had to read some docs \ud83d\ude00 .<\/p>\n
The idea is that on default install the VirtualBox will create an network adapter of type NAT (Network Address Translation). This type of adapter will permit to the guest to browse om Internet via host IP; but it does not allow connections to the guest.<\/p>\n
Just stop the guest operating system and in VirtualBox Manager go to Settings->Network<\/strong> and change the network adapter from NAT<\/strong> to Bridged Adapter<\/strong> like in next picture.<\/p>\n If you have more than one network adapter on your host system, be sure that in the same window you have selected the proper one. See Name:<\/strong> field, in my case the active one was the Wireless LAN the one that has internet access, so I’ve selected that one. Be sure that Cable connected <\/strong> checkbox is on.<\/p>\n No other settings are needed.<\/p>\n Click OK <\/strong> and restart your guest operating system.<\/p>\n If you are in a DHCP network (IPs allocated dynamic) do login on the guest operating system and run the ifconfig<\/strong>\u00a0 command to see what IP was alocated. E.g in my case I got:<\/p>\n Then I just go to the host system and browse to http:\/\/192.168.1.105\/ , and all was fine.<\/p>\n If you are not an a DHCP network (ou are using static IPs), you have to set also the IP on the guest system. The same ifconfig<\/strong> command needs to be used, and it will require\u00a0root <\/strong>permissions.<\/p>\n More info and details about network adapters available on VirtualBox virtualmanchine cahn be found here http:\/\/www.virtualbox.org\/manual\/ch06.html<\/a><\/p>\n Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Few days ago I’ve installed VirtualBox from Oracle on my windows7 machine because I needed a linux where to play with apache webserver.
