Accessing a Bitnami install on VM from outside devices -
i have apache/php/mysql bitnami install running in vm on windows box. can enter ip of vm host machines browser , site-in-progress comes fine.
however, need view site in progress device/computer (mobile testing). how can done?
a bit late answer think adds value...
most vm software has commonly called 'bridged' mode (it's called 'bridged networking' in virtualbox - don't recall it's called in vmware). in essence allows vm it's own independent ip on lan (just 'real' pc).
the downside it's not secure (because vm totally exposed network), upside it's quicker , easier set because don't need muck around port forwarding , there no risk of posts conflicting host or other vms.
