Virtual Ip(private one)

I have a private ip and a vmSphere account credentials. I can login from a windows system with vSphere using ip,usename,password and it gives RemoteDesktop of a centos server.There i configured a Rails server and i am getting appropriage page when I am giving http://localhost:3000

When i try to ping to that ipaddress from windows it is working,But can't access the ruby server when i am trying ipaddress:3000 through browser.Remember the IP is a private range ip-address

When i am trying the ip(172.16.XX.XX) with browser I am not getting the Apache page.but it is giving a VmWare home page.I don't know about these virtual ip things.I can ping to the same ip from that system only since it is a private ip. But not giving the ruby server.

Solution

  • Check that your server process is starting up bound to 0.0.0.0:3000 and not 127.0.0.1:3000 which is local only. One way to test this is by trying using your host name or IP, for example, http://192.168.X.X:3000/ where 192.168.X.X is your server's IP.

    If you're going to be using this on systems other than your own, you may want to use either Passenger or Pow to launch your application. Mongrel is limited in what it can do in a stand-alone capacity.
