Re: search server unavailable on port 8080 after virtualbox server setup

I figured out the answer, so might as well share, as I suspect this is a very common problem:

When you use the latest MB virtual machine (2014-05-14), it comes set up with port forwarding for port 5000 and 2222 properly but not for port 8080 - for that port there is no port forwarding and you have to do so manually, as follows:

1) Start virtualbox, use the virtualbox menu to click on Devices->Network->Network Settings

2) In the Network Settings dialog that pops up, click 'Port Forwarding' and add a TCP port forward (a new row) for host IP 127.0.0.1 from port 8080 on the guest to port 8080 on the host

Done!  You now can reach the search server in the host's browser at http://localhost:8080

Best,

Hello,

I recently tried the recommended method of setting up a Musicbrainz server - using a virtualbox image.

I was hoping the virtualbox image would work right out of the box, but it did not for me.

After booting into the virtual machine and successfully running the reindex script, I was able to access the musicbrainz server at

    http://localhost:5000

But accessing the search server at 

    http://localhost:8080

Produced a "does not exist" error.

Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding the instructions or have i missed something?  How can I access the search server, if not on port 8080?

Any help wold be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
-Doron
