I am very new to using Vagrant in my development workflow, however when setting up the box using vagrant up and then accessing it via my host i get a connection refused with my browser.
Is all that needs to be done to work is: vagrant init scotch/box vagrant up
?
Make sure to forward the 80 port from the guest so you can access the vm from your browser. Edit your Vagrantfile and make sure to have a line like (by default when doing vagrant init I believe this is commented)
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080
You can then access your web server (if running on the VM) from http://127.0.0.1:8080 or http://localhost:8080
If you prefer to use a fixed private IP, you will need to add
config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.10"
you will then access the vm server using http://192.168.33.10
note:
if you have nothing running on the port 80 nothing will be displayed (obviously). you can run sudo netstat -ant and check you have a process running on port 80
Adjust the port number from the example with the service you're running if it runs on another port.
By default, you get a NAT interface that you cannot connect into. You should define a private network in vagrant to make incoming connections available. Then, also check your VM's firewall settings.
I had a similar problem and just wanted to share my solution, maybe it helps someone else. I couldnt reach the localhost:8080 via browser. The connection got interrupted everytime. After a long wasted time and search, I found my problem, it was due to the nginx.conf file.
#nginx config file
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
listen localhost;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name localhost;
location \ {
try_files $uri $uri/ = 404;
}
}
i forgot the backslash after location.... after adding it, i could restart my nginx via vagrant ssh and now it's working again
