Web services with virtual controller in virtual machine

SymAdil · November 2022

Hi,

I'm using web services for some operations like backup. It's working on both virtual and real controllers. However with a virtual controller running in a virtual machine the web services does not seem to work, error 404 not found. Any specific requirements when using virtual machines?

Thanks

By default, a VC does not support a remote connection.

Hi,
I added the vcconf.xml file as indicated in the post but still same problem.
Just to clarify, the virtual controller is running in a VirtualBox. I'm testing the webservices with Postman from within the same VirtualBox not from the PC.
However, when I start another VC in the PC, the webservices running in the VirtualBox are able to communicate with it. So the problem is with the VC in the VirtualBox.
