I have created a web service using django, wsgi and nginx in ubuntu.(http://127.0.0.1:8000) . My network connection is NAT. I want to access to this web service from Linux in VMWare. How can I do this?

  • did you try using the external ip of the ubuntu? i.e. `http://external.ip.address:8000'? (you can get the address by running `ifconfig` – Yaron Mar 09 '17 at 14:31
  • @Yaron yes "ping: unknown host http://external.ip.address:8000" – Jasmine Mar 09 '17 at 14:37
  • If you want to use `ping`, you should run it without the `:8000` part, try running it using web-browser... – Yaron Mar 09 '17 at 14:41

    `localhost` is `local`, you are not suppose to use it outside of the machine (and yes, your VM is outside of the host `localhost` , why won't you use the external_ip of the host? – Yaron Mar 09 '17 at 14:51
  • I changed nginx listen section. Now it is ok. Thanks Yaron. – Jasmine Mar 09 '17 at 15:04

Don't use NAT but use Bridge in your VM Network Adapter. Also configure your web service and/or nginx to listen on the real IP of the VM and not only localhost.
