I'm setting up a VirtualBox with CentOS so I can test out all my code, etc. on a Linux box instead of the Windows I use for development.
I just got the SSH working (I SSH to localhost:2222 and it port forwards it to the virtualbox port 22).
It's using NAT because for some reason it refuses to start with a bridged adapter.
I'm trying to do the same thing with Apache, to get a web server up and running.
I've portforwarded port 8888 on localhost to port 80 in my CentOS Virtualbox, but I can't seem to access anything with localhost:8888 in my browser?
Apache is also definitely running:
ps -e | grep httpd 2108 ? 00:00:00 httpd 2110 ? 00:00:00 httpd 2111 ? 00:00:00 httpd 2112 ? 00:00:00 httpd 2113 ? 00:00:00 httpd 2114 ? 00:00:00 httpd 2115 ? 00:00:00 httpd 2116 ? 00:00:00 httpd 2117 ? 00:00:00 httpd
Iptables:

I've also stopped iptables, so that's not interfering.
I tried to telnet into port 80 from my CentOS Virtualmachine to see if it'd work, and
Neither 127.0.0.1 or [vm ip] works for telneting to port 80. It gets to connecting to [ip] and then says connection closed by foreign host. For the listen lines in my httpd.conf, it says listen 0.0.0.0:80
Output of netstat -tlnp | grep http
netstat -tlnp | grep http tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2032/httpd tcp 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 2032/httpd
When I nmap localhost, I get

You have copy pasted the iptables rules? If yes then there is an error in it:
the underscore insted of hyphen.
