I'm developing a web application in Ubuntu run in VM Ware Player. The VM is hosted on my Windows 8.1 machine. I want to test the application in Internet Explorer, so is there any way I can make requests to the server and test the application from the host OS?
Yes you can. You need to check the ip address of your VM
type this in ubuntu terminal:
ifconfig
check what ip address it uses then you can access it through browser

I got a question about Hyper-v VM capability. I have a Ubuntu VM and inside it, Im running a service locally. I am able to see it and use it within the VM browser. However, I want to be able to use within my host browser. Inside my VM session, I write localhost:8080 and I can access the platform of my program. However, when I try this in my host computer browser, I cant access it.
Is there a way to be able to access the platform using localhost:8080 within my host web browser?
Thanks in advance!
Did you try to type the IP address of your Ubuntu VM :8080 ?
like http://ubuntuVM:8080/ or https://192.168.1.22:8080 ? (replace with the correct address/name)
localhost is a loopback address, it redirects to 'self'
I want to test my website on edge and internet explorer so I tried using a windows VM, I am currently on linux mint 19.1, I start the gohugo server with "hugo server --disableFastRender" and create the VM in virtualbox using bridged adapter but I cant load localhost:1313 on the vm.
I tried using NAT and port forwarding but I have the same results, also tried the conection between the host and VM using ping and the VM can reach the host but the host cant connect to the VM so I guess that the problem is there but I dont know what to do now. The place where I am working uses IPv6 and I never worked with it before so maybe it has something to do with that
Start your site as usual with hugo server, which makes it available at http://localhost:1313
Leave your Windows VM network settings at their defaults
In your Windows VM, navigate to http://10.0.2.2:1313 to hit your hugo site
In a nutshell, 10.0.2.2 on your Windows VM (its default gateway) is equivalent to localhost on your linux host.
You can get the default gateway of your Windows VM by running ipconfig in Command Prompt.
I want to access the virtual machine IP in the host (by ping or curl or something), but it is not ok. How could I make it?
The host machine is a win10 PC.
A virtual machine using VMware workstation 15, Ubuntu 16.04 server. It has IP address 192.168.178.138 and 10.0.0.11. I can access the 192.168.178.138, but cannot access 10.0.0.11. (no matter ping or curl...)
All are NAT mode in VMware Workstation.
Now I have a web application running on 10.0.0.11:80. How could I access it in my host machine.
Btw I have another VM with 192.168.178.39 and 10.0.0.31, and this VM can access the 10.0.0.11:80 by curl.
I can show the topo as below.
(A little Chinese but it won't affect reading, just ignore it)
Yes, now I solve this question by myself.
It seems that you cannot use the Host-only mode (Actually I can only use this mode...).
You need to set the virtual interface in your host PC (The IP, gateway, or anything else...);
Then you need to set in the VMWare workstation, set it to use speical lan (VM net 2 for me);
Then you can access it from the host machine and other vm, maybe you need to search something like NAT translation in VMWare workstation to access your web application deployed in the VM from outer network.
That's what I do, now I can access my horizon dashboard in the browser (The Ubuntu server don't have any browser... T-T sad ...)
Settings Picture
I am running Vagrant and VirtualBox on Ubuntu 14.04. My web app is built with Laravel and uses Homestead.
The application makes a web service call to a machine on my local area network. I can successfully reach the server from my OS web browser.
However, my web application cannot access this web service as it does not appear to be sharing my local network settings.
Based on my Google searches I have tried changing the Network settings in VirtualBox under the "Attached To" setting. Changing Adapter 1 to Bridged Adapter. However, this did not work.
Is there a way to allow my VM to communicate with a web service on my LAN?
aaronfarr,
I have as host Win7_64 with VirtualBox and as VM an openSuse.
With network configured like in the below picture and also inside VM the same proxy settings like on host, I can do same things both on VM and host machine.
I have installed Fedora 14 on Windows XP using VMware with NAT as ethernet type (since I need to access internet through wireless data card). I am using Fedora for Rails app development, which i can access using normal Webrick on http://localhost:3000
Any ideas on how to access the same app in the host Windows XP machine with Rails app server running on Fedora.
Did you try to connect via the IP-Address + port of the Fedora box? To find out the IP-Address use ifconfig and type it in your Windows-Browser, i.e. http://192.168.1.100:3030
If this fails, did you check your firewall settings on the Fedora box?
Use the 'bridged' or 'host-only' network types to get an IP address accessible to the host machine.
