I'm running on OSX 10.9.2. I just set up LAMP on Lubuntu in VirtualBox so that I could run a development server through VirtualBox. I changed my /etc/apache2/ports.conf
to listen on 8080 instead of 80, and I set up my VirtualBox port forwarding with NAT with the following configuration:
+--------+----------+---------+-----------+----------+------------+ | Name | Protocol | Host IP | Host Port | Guest IP | Guest Port | +--------+----------+---------+-----------+----------+------------+ | Apache | TCP | | 8080 | | 8080 | +--------+----------+---------+-----------+----------+------------+
I can access websites that I have created in /var/www/
such as /var/www/testwebsite/
by accessing localhost:8080/testwebsite
on my host machine (the Mac). I'm trying to install a WordPress site on my guest machine. I have followed Digital Ocean's How To Install WordPress on Ubuntu 12.04 and so far it works when I access http://localhost:8080/wordpresssite
inside the guest machine (Lubuntu), but when I try to access http://localhost:8080/wordpresssite
on my host machine, it redirects to http://localhost/wordpresssite
, when then can't be found. How do I fix this issue? Thanks in advance!
