port forwarding - VirtualBox webserver not accessbile on host browser


I setup and installed a CentOS6 webserver on a virtualbox.


Already setup port-forwarding of port 4444 to 80 so that I can access it and even disabled Win7 firewall.


I think that probably the problem is in apache httpd so I install lynx and I can view the test.html I created. But I can't access it in the host browser.


ifconfig says the guest ip is 10.0.2.15 so when I try to access it in my web browser on i type : http://10.0.2.15:4444


I don't know what's wrong with my setup


EDIT: 127.0.0.1:4444 doesn't work either


EDIT: Switched network type to bridged networking, still has windows firewall disabled, removed port-forwarding setting on virtualbox and I still could not access the web server. :(



Answer



Finally found the cause. Apparently, CentOS 6 iptables block httpd port 80 outside by default.
