Access to localhost in virtualbox - windows

I have a server on port 8085 (my pc - I use Ubuntu 16.04). There are also Virtualbox with installed Windows 7. I have an internet connection in Windows (it is possible to open google.com etc) but there is no connection to localhost. For localhost:8085 in Ubuntu everything works perfectly but for the same adress in virtual-machine doesn't work.
I tried to modify Settings->Network and put there bridged but there is the same problem.
How is it possible to access it?

Try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost
or get ip address with terminal command ifconfig and use the address in the url

Why can't I connect to 127.0.0.1 HortonWorks Dashboard?

I have installed Virtual Box (Version 5.2.0 r118431 (Qt5.6.2)) on Windows 10 and i imported appliance HDP_2.4_virtualbox_v3 (downloaded from here).
I followed the tutorial from here step by step.
The virtual machine is running on the computer from where I am trying to access the Dashboard. I have set up the Host Only Adapter Option on the sandbox so the computer and the virtual machine can communicate
After the CentOs finished booting I am prompt to enter to the ip 127.0.0.1:8888, which is a different address from the tutorial,
and there is no server listening to that address because i get
"127.0.0.1 refused to connect." in the browser.

Run the ipconfig command in your command prompt and identyfy your virtual box's ip under Ethernet adapter VirtualBox Host-Only Network.
Take that ip address and go to your Virtual Box.
Select your appliance and go to Settings->Network->Adapter 1->Port Forwarding.
Replace the Host IP 127.0.0.1 for the port you need 8080, 8888 and so on with the ip of your virtual box that should be sth like 192.168.x.x.
Now start your sandbox, login on it and try to connect in your browser to the new ip set 192.168.x.x:8888.
Use appliance HDP_2.4_virtualbox because in the most recent some linux commands like netstat are considered deprecated and no longer function, which willmake your life harder when trying to debug or identify a networking problem.
If you still encounter issues eith it, reinstall your operating system, reinstall your virtual box and reimport the sandbox, make the changes needed in the Port Forwarding settings and it should be ok.
try to connect using 127.0.0.1 to connect make sure the VM is running make sure there are no errors if there are debug them and at the last straw uninstall the Vm and retry (make sure to make a backup if there are any files)
you can also try to check all the local host ips on your network and try to connect to them
Make sure you set NAT in your VirtualBox network settings:

Connection refused for 127.0.0.1 on OSX Yosemite

I'm on a really strange situation.
I'm using MAMP and I can't access to my working directory from the 127.0.0.1.
When I'm using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 it works because the localhost is redirected to the ::1 ipv6 address.
So, I can access to my local server only via ipv6.
I've tried to start a little server with Python and it doesn't work ( it works fine on my personal laptop using OSX El Captain ).
When I try with an other port than 80 it works but I need to use this port ..
It's not a conflict, when I'm running the Python server he is the only one to listen the port 80
Do you have an idea about this trouble ?
Why I can use the ipv6 local address only ?

Why "10.0.2.2" was not there with running "ifconfig"?

As you know I use vagrant to manage one vm, when I login to the vm using vagrant ssh, the output shown that I was login from 10.0.2.2. So this IP was my host's IP . But why can not I see it with running ifconfig in my host? That confused me. (But I can found a record about 10.0.2.2 in the host route table)
Any clue will be appreciated!
10.0.2.2 always points to the local host when you are running emulator or vm. So in virtual machine , it refers to the local host (127.0.0.1) as 10.0.2.2. That is the reason you can't see it in ifconfig in your host.
You can find more info in this thread.

Using gitlab-vagrant-vm from OSX host

I followed the instructions here and was able to succesfully (I think) install the gitlab vagrant virtual machine on OSX 10.8 using virtualbox.
I can do vagrant up to get the VM running, and everything seems to work fine. After that I can do vagrant ssh without a problem. Also, after sshing into the VM I was able to do bundle exec rake gitlab:test, which completed with results being 1584 examples, 0 failures.
I would like to see the gitlab web interface from my OSX host machine. I thought I could just direct my browser to the IP indicated in the VagrantFile (http://192.168.3.14), but that didn't work.
Any ideas?
Also any other usage tips for this setup would be appriciated (things like where the repositories are stored on my host machine so I can back them up, if anyone set the gitlab-vagrant-vm up for external access from either another computer on the network or a remote source, ect.)
You have to connect a second interface for vagrant. To do this you've to edit the VagrantFile.
For example if you want to conenct to the host wifi add the following line after 192.168.3.14
config.vm.network :bridged, bridge: "en0: Wi-Fi (AirPort)"
You also can bridge to the ethernet interface. Use ifconfig on the host machine to determine the right interface. After that the dyndns-server of the host network will assign an IP to the Vagrant-Box. Then you can access GitLab on that IP.
Did you actually start the server? You can do that with
bundle exec foreman start -p 3000
This will start the server on port 3000, you would then access it from the host with
http://192.168.3.14:3000/
Hope this helps,

Access virtual host from guest os ( oracle virtual box)

I am using ubuntu 11.10 and have installed different virtual host on different ip like
127.0.0.2 www.example.local
127.0.0.3 www.wordpress.local
... etc
I want to test these website in IE9, for this i have install windows7 in oracle virtual box and also modified host file of windows7 and add this line 10.0.2.2 localhost at the end of the file and also create a new bridge adapted.
After all this setup i can access localhost of ubuntu from windows7, but find problem while accessing virtual host of ubuntu.
Please help me to access these virtual host on windows 7, i have already search google, ubuntu forum and stackoverflow for this but didnt find right answer.
If I understand you correctly, you want the virtual adapters ip, ie. the gateway ip.
Just add those lines you have added to Ubuntu's host file to the host file in your Windows 7 VM, replacing 127.0.0.x with 10.0.2.2 should make your Windows VM connect to your Ubuntu host for requests to those hosts. This should usually sufficient, unless your HTTP server is configured to serve www.example.local only for connection to 127.0.0.2 and similar for www.wordpress.local.
