Local server on VirtualBox guest OS
Are you using Parallels? Check out this post.
VirtualBox is another great virtualization software, especially useful for Ubuntu and Windows users.
As web developer you often need to change OS for cross browser testing
and it's best to do it before pushing your code to the production
server.
You can use your Host's dev server in the Guest OS, without needing to syncronize all your files between the two.
Assuming your are starting the server using the localhost or 127.0.0.1 IP address you can easily access it.
Just open up a Command shell on Guest and type
- ipconfig
For django, dont forget to add the port, if you are using other than 80, just like you open it in the Host's browser.
