ERPNext Access from Host Machine

[ahmed.suria]

Hi All,

I downloaded ERPNext VM sometime back and able to use on my machine. However, somehow suddenly I am unable to access the application. The VM is running is perfect 100% however i cannot access application from my browser http://localhost:8080 (host machine). I am using Windows 7.

Any clue / workaround to resolve this?

In your VM terminal check and see what the IP is and use that to access the app.

Follow these instructions if you still have problems.
