localhost - 从VirtualBox虚拟机寻址localhost(Addressing localhost from a VirtualBox virtual machine)

Question

I have a local test/development server (HTTP, of course), listening to port 8000.

(我有一个本地测试/开发服务器（当然是HTTP），监听端口8000。)

I'm working on Linux, so to test the page on Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, etc. I run a virtual machine using VirtualBox;

(我正在使用Linux，所以要在Internet Explorer 6,7,8等上测试页面。我使用VirtualBox运行虚拟机;)

I also need to see how it look on Firefox in a windows environment (fonts for instance are different).

(我还需要看看它在Windows环境中的外观如何（例如字体不同）。)

In my real machine, I open the website simply using the URL http://localhost:8000 , how do I address this localhost from the virtual machine?

(在我的真机中，我只是使用URL http://localhost:8000打开网站，如何从虚拟机中寻址此本地主机？)

Right now my workaround is to use the IP address.

(现在我的解决方法是使用IP地址。)

Any better ideas?

(有更好的想法吗？)

Googling turned this up: http://data.agaric.com/localhost-from-virtualbox-xp-install-ubuntu

(谷歌搜索转此： http ： //data.agaric.com/localhost-from-virtualbox-xp-install-ubuntu)

It suggests using IP: http://10.0.2.2 , and it worked for me.

(它建议使用IP： http://10.0.2.2 ： http://10.0.2.2 ，它对我http://10.0.2.2 。)

So, I edited the hosts file, C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts , and added this entry:

(所以，我编辑了hosts文件， C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts ，并添加了这个条目：)

10.0.2.2   outer

If you're testing on IE8, remember to put http:// in the address bar.

(如果您正在测试IE8，请记得在地址栏中输入http:// 。)

Just putting the ip directly will not work.

(只是直接放入IP将无法正常工作。)

For example:

(例如：)

http://10.0.2.2:3000/
