I am trying to run a virtual LAMP machine on my windows 7 for dev purposes. But i cant figure out how to reach the apache from the host windows 7 system. I did an ifconfig and tried the ipaddress, but to no avail.

Virtual Box Neworking

If you look at the link you will have many different options on the type of networking you can do.

as mentioned earlier, I recommend either:

Bridged

networking that makes the box look like an other computer on your network. They you may use ipconfig on the box or verify your router logs.

Host-Only

networking is where your windows 7 will be its own network between the box and windows and then you may use the Ip address from ipconfig.

If you set virtualbox to use bridged (regular) networking then it's no different from any other machine on the LAN, if you set host only then you can still call it - you just need to know it's IP address.

You will need to set the networking mode of your VM in virtualbox.

  • Bridged will allow others on the LAN to access your VM.
  • Host-Only will allow your host and any other VM's also configured as host-only to access one another.
