Access django server in vagrant virtualbox on host machine?

Question

I am using windows and putty to ssh to vagrant virtualbox.I cannot access the django server running in vagrant virtualbox using http://localhost:9991 I have disabled my firewall as well here's my vagrant file:

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

def command?(name)
  `which #{name}`
  $?.success?
end

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

  # For LXC. VirtualBox hosts use a different box, described below.
  config.vm.box = "fgrehm/trusty64-lxc"

  # The Zulip development environment runs on 9991 on the guest.
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 9991, host: 9991, host_ip: "127.0.0.1"

  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/srv/zulip"

  # Specify LXC provider before VirtualBox provider so it's preferred.
  config.vm.provider "lxc" do |lxc|
    if command? "lxc-ls"
      LXC_VERSION = `lxc-ls --version`.strip unless defined? LXC_VERSION
      if LXC_VERSION >= "1.1.0"
        # Allow start without AppArmor, otherwise Box will not Start on Ubuntu 14.10
        # see https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc/issues/333
        lxc.customize 'aa_allow_incomplete', 1
      end
    end
  end

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb, override|
    override.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
    # 2GiB seemed reasonable here. The VM OOMs with only 1024MiB.
    vb.memory = 2048
  end

$provision_script = <<SCRIPT
set -x
set -e
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-pbs
/usr/bin/python /srv/zulip/provision.py
SCRIPT

  config.vm.provision "shell",
    # We want provision.py to be run with the permissions of the vagrant user.
    privileged: false,
    inline: $provision_script
end

How do i access the server from host(Windows)?

Answer 1

I would suggest (on the Guest):

sudo netstat -lnutp 

and having a look at what ports are open, and the process which owns them. If the one you want is missing, make sure the service which is responsible for it has been started, or start it yourself. From the looks of your Vagrantfile, this would be the "Zulip development environment".
