can't connect localhost:3000 ruby on rails in vagrant

Question

I tried to connect localhost:3000 in windows

rails server is running in vagrant(ubuntu 14.10)

portforwarding is done

when, I tried lynx 127.0.0.1:3000 in ubunutu, it works

but, in windows, I can't connect localhost:3000, 127.0.0.1:3000 too

just showed ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

in cmd, I ran netstat -t result is :3000 TIME_WAIT

how can I solve this problem?

this is my 'Vagrantfile'

# -*- mode: ruby -*-

# All Vagrant configuration is done below. The "2" in Vagrant.configure
# configures the configuration version (we support older styles for

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  # The most common configuration options are documented and commented below.
  # For a complete reference, please see the online documentation at

  # Every Vagrant development environment requires a box. You can search for

  config.vm.box = "ubuntu 14.10"

  # Disable automatic box update checking. If you disable this, then
  # boxes will only be checked for updates when the user runs
  # `vagrant box outdated`. This is not recommended.
  # config.vm.box_check_update = false

  # Create a private network, which allows host-only access to the machine
  # using a specific IP.
  # config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"

  # Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port
  # within the machine from a port on the host machine. In the example below,
  # accessing "localhost:8080" will access port 80 on the guest machine.
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: "3000", host: "3000"

  # Create a public network, which generally matched to bridged network.
  # Bridged networks make the machine appear as another physical device on
  # your network.
  # config.vm.network "public_network"

  # Share an additional folder to the guest VM. The first argument is
  # the path on the host to the actual folder. The second argument is
  # the path on the guest to mount the folder. And the optional third
  # argument is a set of non-required options.
  # config.vm.synced_folder "../data", "/vagrant_data"

  # Provider-specific configuration so you can fine-tune various
  # backing providers for Vagrant. These expose provider-specific options.
  # Example for VirtualBox:
  #
  # config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
  #   # Display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
  #   vb.gui = true
  #
  #   # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
  #   vb.memory = "1024"
  # end
  #
  # View the documentation for the provider you are using for more
  # information on available options.

  # Define a Vagrant Push strategy for pushing to Atlas. Other push strategies
  # such as FTP and Heroku are also available. See the documentation at
  # https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/push/atlas.html for more information.
  # config.push.define "atlas" do |push|
  #   push.app = "YOUR_ATLAS_USERNAME/YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME"
  # end

  # Enable provisioning with a shell script. Additional provisioners such as
  # Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Salt, and Docker are also available. Please see the
  # documentation for more information about their specific syntax and use.
  # config.vm.provision "shell", inline <<-SHELL

end

edit: I tried to Host-only network adapter and I tried to connect 192.168.33.10:3000 in host machine still can't connect. One weird thing, I can send Ping to 192.168.33.10 in host machine and reply was came. I don't know what the problem is. I confused. somebody help me, please :(

Solution 1

The solution is running the code below to start your server:

rails s -b 0.0.0.0

I found this solution from another post about same problem. The answerer said 'You'll want to make sure that the server is binded to 0.0.0.0 so that all interfaces can access it."

I hope this post helps people who encounter the same problem :)

Solution 2

You can find the reason in here: http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/4_2_release_notes.html

Due to a change in Rack, rails server now listens on localhost instead of 0.0.0.0 by default

If you want to use rails s instead of rails s -b 0.0.0.0, you can edit /config/boot.rb:

ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'] ||= File.expand_path('../../Gemfile', __FILE__)

require 'bundler/setup' if File.exist?(ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'])

require 'rails/commands/server'

module Rails
  class Server
    alias :default_options_alias :default_options
    def default_options
      default_options_alias.merge!(:Host => '0.0.0.0')
    end
  end
end

It actually should be rails s -b 0.0.0.0, "b" stands for "bind"

@user860478 Thank you for your help.

Works also with Thin. Thanks

What a surprise... I always thought that rails server listens on all interfaces by default unless specified. There is a good answer showing how to achieve this behavior: stackoverflow.com/questions/28668436/…

shilovk's answer at stackoverflow.com/questions/27799260 is a little better as it accounts for environment
