PHP Built in Server Not Working with Vagrant in Host Machine

Question

I'm using vagrant box hashicorp/precise64, Ubuntu 14.04, and PHP 5.6.

My Vagrantfile has config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

I'm trying to test with the built in PHP server using: php -S localhost:80

The server is up in the virtual machine. I confirmed this with wget. However, I cannot access it from my host machine. My browser can't reach localhost.

Note: Apache and NodeJS servers both work, but not the built in PHP server.

It takes ages to setup and most of the time it doesn't work properly. It's 2016, but vagrant still in 95. — Pedro Lobito, May 23 '16 at 01:06
@PedroLobito do you have any suggestions for an alternative? — Linny, May 23 '16 at 03:32
@Linny To develop with laravel you don't need vagrant, just install gulp, node, etc.., it takes 15 minutes. — Pedro Lobito, May 23 '16 at 03:51

Solved.

I had to use 0.0.0.0 for the address of the php server. Should have been php -S 0.0.0.0:80
