Virtual box localhost access

http://serverfault.com – Question on Virtual Box 4.1.8 So, i have Ubuntu 10.10 as host machine and Windows Xp as guest machine. On host machine there is tomcat with web app running on port 8888. When i am in guest machine i type in browser: http://10.0.2.2:8888/Something.html and it works. But my Something.html has links to javascript like src="http://localhost:8888/webApp/someScript.js and they obviously aren't working(because of "localhost" part). The other problem is that i don't want to use relative path now, only absolute. Also i don't want to change localhost to Host Ip in my links Maybe there is some solution, ()

strange localhost behaviour 1 year 1 week ago

I'm trying to implement http digest authentication on part of a local domain. I'm using MAMP on Mac OSX Lion. MAMP uses port 8888 so I can navigate to my domain either at http://localhost:8888/myDomain or http://127.0.0.1:8888/myDomain. Both of these work fine for the non-authenticated sections of the domain. However, if I navigate to the address that is protected something weird happens.

I have a process running on my Ubuntu 12.04 server that insists on binding to a public IP address. I only want it accessible from localhost, and NOT the outside world. I've been trying to work out a way to forward 1.2.3.4:8888 to 127.0.0.1:8888. I saw something about iptables not wanting to forward connections to loopback, and I haven't been able to make it work with xinetd either.

Alright this one is a bit confusing so I'll do my best to explain.

I have a local server with port 80 open to the internet. On that server I am running some software that captures video off an IP Camera in my house and streams it via port 8888.

I already have port 80 open and rather than open 8888 as well, I thought ProxyPass in my Apache configuration would be a good way to route the traffic.

I want to use monit to monitor services on my Ubuntu VM(precise 32) but I cannot access the monit daemon via HTTP from the host (local) machine.

I have enabled the following settings in /etc/monit/monitrc:

set httpd port 2812 and use address localhost allow localhost allow vagrant:vagrant_pwd

and have forwarded port 2812 in the virtual machine to host machine in Vagrantfile as follows:

In order to debug maas, I ran the following command:

$ cd /usr/share/pyshared/maas $ sudo python manage.py runserver (IP):8888 --settings=maas.settings

After that, I typed the url 'http://(IP):8888/MAAS/' in a firefox browser. Then the following error is shown:

A server error occurred.

I've a domain on which I'm running two different web applications at different ports.

A Java web application on example:8888/foo A PHP website on example:8080/bar

The requirement is, if an user tries to access the root of example:8888 or example:8080, then the user should be redirected to example:8888/foo.

How can I achieve this requirement?

I created a virtual machine on Virtualbox with Ubuntu 12.04 only to install a LAMP solution and use it with my host machine, but I can't access the localhost using the ip (10.0.2.15) in the browser.

Is there any way to solve this problem ?
