I have installed a localhost server on a Windows 7 machine using DrupalPro and VirtualBox. I would like to be able to access the website created there (and the two demo websites that came installed) from an external browser located on the same computer. I need help figuring out what that browser address would be.
I am able to access (and edit) the website created on the localhost with the Firefox browser located within the Ubuntu operating system. I can't, however, access it from the Windows copy of Firefox which resides on the same machine because I can't figure out what the path to the webpage on the localhost server would be.
If I enter the IP address of the localhost, 192.168.56.xxx, in the Windows copy of Firefox, I get the DrupalPro Development Desktop information from the localhost server, so I know I am able to access it. I can't, however, figure out the path to the websites I would need to use from that same external browser located on the same computer.
Can anyone give me some help with what the path would be to the websites folder using an external browser located on the same machine for a DrupalPro standard install? (The path to the folders shown in the Ubuntu file browser is /home/drupalpro/websites/[sitename])

when in the ubuntu instance of firefox pointed at the administration area of drupal what is the path in the browsers address bar?
based on the path /home/drupalpro/websites/[sitename] I'd try localhost/sitename or ip/sitename - localhost/websites/sitename or ip/websites/sitename
If they don't work, I suggest filing a support request in the drupalpro issue queue. Considering there isn't a release on the project page, I'm not sure how many users on the forums would be using it.
