CnetOS 5: Can't access webserver via http from host OS?

adred · 03-15-2010, 02:14 AM

My server is installed on a guest OS on vmware. It really bugs me because I can't access it from the host OS's browser even though there is no discrepancy between /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/network, httpd.conf files. Issuing ifconfig command also returns the same IP. I have also enabled netwroking in the vmware settings. And I can ping the guest OS's IP from the host. Any insights pls???

perhaps try http://<hostname>.localdomain in a local browser? can you see it in the browser like that?

You mean in the guest OS? Yes I can access it. From the host OS, no.
