How to do port forwarding properly with VirtualBox?
I have a trouble connecting to a guest OS in VirtualBox. My environtment is as follows:
- Host: MacOSX (Lion)
- Guest: CentOS (5.7, 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5)
- VirtualBox: 4.1.4 r74291 -- Network Adapter Type: NAT
In the guest OS, I can see that the httpd is running properly like:
$ ps aux | grep httpd
root 2571 0.0 3.5 258440 8824 ? Ss 08:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 2573 0.0 2.2 258440 5780 ? S 08:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 2574 0.0 2.0 258440 5184 ? S 08:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 2575 0.0 2.0 258440 5180 ? S 08:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 2576 0.0 2.0 258440 5180 ? S 08:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 2577 0.0 2.0 258440 5180 ? S 08:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 2578 0.0 2.0 258440 5180 ? S 08:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 2579 0.0 2.0 258440 5180 ? S 08:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 2580 0.0 2.0 258440 5180 ? S 08:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
$ curl localhost

In the host OS, I did a configuration to do port forwarding as follows:
$ VBoxManage showvminfo CentOS_3 | grep "NIC 1"
NIC 1: MAC: 080027B1FA87, Attachment: NAT, Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: Am79C973, Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: deny
NIC 1 Settings: MTU: 0, Socket (send: 64, receive: 64), TCP Window (send:64, receive: 64)
NIC 1 Rule(0): name = http, protocol = tcp, host ip = , host port = 8003, guest ip = , guest port = 80
NIC 1 Rule(1): name = ssh, protocol = tcp, host ip = , host port = 2203, guest ip = , guest port = 22
As this information go, I'm trying to do port forwarding from 8003 to 80 and from 2203 to 22. In fact, I can make the ssh connection to the guest OS with "ssh -p 2203 localhost". However, when I try to see http://localhost:8003, the browser says "Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data."
When I try "telnet localhost 8003" in the host OS it seems the port is listening, but there appears no log in the access log of the guest OS.
What should I do to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

It seems that like mkj wrote, you have a firewall installed.
try running (as root): yum install system-config-firewall-tui
run system-config-firewall-tui, select customize and make sure that "WWW (HTTP)" is checked.
Although old question, but this may be helpful to someone, as I faced this problem today. As mentioned by mkj, the issue is with Guest OS ( Centos 6 in my case) firewall. It allows ssh (port 22) connection, but blocks others. I had issue accessing postgresql server running in Guest OS (at port 5432) from Host. So executing following iptables command on Guest OS worked:
$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5432 -j ACCEPT
In your case, for httpd server running at port 80, you may have to do below:
$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
I never faced this problem when running ubuntu/debian as Guest OS, so probably firewall is not configured in them.
