I am running Apache with several virtual hosts on my Mac. I think the virtual hosts have properly been configured; thus, I can access the following from the web browser:
host1.mydomain
host2.mydomain
host3.mydomain
I can also access localhost with no problem.
However, I can't access those hosts from a virtual machine (I use Parallels Desktop, running on the same box). Do I need to configure something on my virtual machine? Maybe the hosts file, etc.?
Is it also possible to hit those hosts from the virtual machine, even I am not connected to the Internet?
Thanks.
It turns out this can be solved by simply updating the hosts file in the VM.
Assuming the Mac's IP is a.b.c.d and you want to access host1.mydomain, you'd need to add this line to the hosts file (in the VM):
a.b.c.d host1.mydomain
So, when you type in host1.mydomain on the VM browser, it will get resolved to the host running on the Mac.

I'm doing some Ruby on Rails development on a WSL 2. The rails app connects to a MySQL server running on my Windows host. When I used WSL 1 it as easy to set the host to 127.0.0.1 but on WSL 2 I have to use the nameserver written in /etc/resolv.conf
But I found out that IP address written in resolv.conf changes on reboots.
Is there a way to set a static IP address for WSL 2 ?
You can consider ocroz/wsl2-boot (see INSTALL for installation instructions)
After running wsl-boot command:
The WSL network is configured as per its predefined definition always (Windows side),
All WSL hosts are configured with their predefined static IP always (Linux side),
All WSL hosts and connected Hyper-V VMs can talk to each other always,
The DNS resolution works however you are connected to Internet or VPN,
You can SSH to WSL host without any delay.
Dec. 2022, microsoft/WSL issue 4210 also adds:
With the latest Windows 11 (22621+), you can already specify the network adapter you want to use for WSL2 in .wslconfig:
[wsl2]
networkingMode=bridged
vmSwitch=my-switch
ipv6=true
So, now you can create a Hyper-V external virtual switch for WSL2 and fix the IP address, no other scripts are required. It works out-of-box.
The same thread adds:
Create a vSwitch in Hyper-V，I Use Hyper-V Gui to do this. Hyper-V has three types of virtual switches -- external, internal, and private.
I choose the "external" type , which is bridge type, the same as VMWare workstation.
set this config in .wslconfig
I find the IP change to the network of my home router，which is replace the old of eth0.
You can set DHCP in you home router, then Fix the IP of the bridge.
To sum up, in the case of bridge, it is essentially DHCP , and whether it is fixed or not depends on the DHCP server.
If you don't want /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf to change after restart, you can create
/etc/wsl.conf
[network]
generateHosts = false
generateResolvConf = false
I have a MySql Server 5.7 running as service on one computer of a LAN.
My application is installed and running fine on the same computer. I have 'Shared with everyone' set for the directory where my application is located. In the same directory I have put the libmysql.dll and the FDConnectionDefs.ini files.
My application is running fine on that computer. On the other computers on the LAN I created a link to the directory where my application is shared. When I try to run my application from these LAN systems they produce the error message
[FireDac][Phys][mySql] can't connect to mySql server 127.0.0.1 on port 3306... (10061).
All machines are running Windows 10 on 64 bit processors.
Here what i've tried to resolve the problem:
make sure that the user, password and host (%) are the same in mySql Profile and FDConnectionDefs.ini.
I've tried with different users even with root, i've tried to change host (%) to put the IP address of the computer trying to connect in the mySql profile.
I make sure that i have permissions to run my application and mySql and that the port 3306 is open in the Firewall/Kaspersky on each computer of the LAN. But always the same error message.
127.0.0.1 is a special IP address - the "loopback" address that is typically resolved for localhost on most systems. It is a private internal IP address that a computer can use to refer to itself. It has no meaning to other systems on a LAN since every computer will recognize 127.0.0.1 as meaning itself.
This means that when you are running the application on a remote system it will be trying to connect to a MySQL server running locally rather than on a server elsewhere.
You'll need to configure your FireDac components to connect to the actual LAN IP address that belongs to the system hosting the MySQL server. You will probably also need to make sure that your MySQL users are set up to authenticate from an IP other than localhost.
have a problem when consider about more Couchbase(CB) instances running in same PC. It is because, The screen which allows to add another server provides options to add the second server IP, and no any ports. This might be because each CB communicate through the same port. How ever without mentioning the connecting port, how to add another server which is running on same PC? (the already running server ip is 127.0.0.1, then what to mention in the second servers IP ?)![enter image description here][1]
The best solution for running this would be to use virtual machines to run the CB instances. Use 1 VM per node/instance (which can be quickly provisioned using vagrant). This (particularly the vagrant solution) allows multiple nodes/instances to communicate between each other on correct ports (as each node is given a unique IP (from the reserved private addresses), and is well tested in terms of resource usage/performance.
More information along with prebuilt vagrant configurations can be found on GitHub and at this blog (one of Couchbase's engineers).
This is my scenario,
I have a Ubuntu 12.10 host and a win 7 guest installed in the virtual box. The Network is configured to be NAT in the virtual box. I have a mysql sever installed in the Ubuntu with “bind_address” in my.cnf is commented out.
How can I access this mysql server from the windows 7 guest? I did some search in Google and came accross with this Host-Only Networking With VirtualBox but I cant get it work as I don't have statics IP with my internet vendor and my network knowledge is very bad. All I know is that I have DHCP enabled Internet connection. So if i do any IP's in the network settings I don't have Internet.
I know that there are plenty of solutions on the other way around (access the guest server from the host) but still cant figure it out.
So any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Your external IP being static or not has no bearing to accessing a virtualized server on your LAN.
Set VirtualBox to bridge mode.
Simply determine your computer's DHCP-selected internal IP (usually 192.168.1.SOMETHING) and replace the last number with another that is less than 250. For example, if your computer was 192.168.1.6, 192.168.1.70 would work fine on the VM(pick a high number to void conflicts).
Set it by using the control panel->adapter settings. Reboot the VM. Connect to MySQL at 192.168.1.70(or the address you picked earlier).
Note: If your computer's address is in a different subnet (192.168.0.XXX, 10.XX.XX.XX, etc) change the last number and keep the first numbers the same as on the host.
Does anyone know an easy way to synchronize your /etc/hosts file across multiple machines? I use a MacBook, a MacMini, a Windows Machine as well as a Linux VM to develop websites with so it would be ideal to have all of them have the same hosts config.
Instead of having a /etc/hosts file for each machine you might instead consider using a DNS server.
You can run rsync on any of the macs/linux, and deltacopy on windows
