Vitualization Server not available

[msf]

I am testing WCM preview along the Tutorial. Everything works fine until I try to preview the staging sandbox.

The page http://www-alfresco-www--staging.avm.127-0-0-1.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/ is not available.

Any hint whats wrong with my setup?

Hi

The Virtualization server is configured (by default) to use a DNS hosted by Alfresco that does wildcard resolution to 127.0.0.1.  Perhaps your machine is unable to access this server (alfrescodemo.net)?

Please see:  http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Configuring_the_Virtualization_Server

Currently, I only have docs for using ip.alfrescodemo.net, but I intend to post instructions for how to configure BIND 9, for those who'd like to work off line.

Cheers,

PS:  You don't need (or want) to fiddle with your "hosts" file.   See the wiki page above to understand why.

Maybe you're not browsing from the machine the server runs on? Since 127.0.0.1 points back to the host your browser runs on, this will only work on the server itself.

Note that with a small configuration change, you can use
the virtualization server from any machine.

For details, see:

I'm having trouble getting WCM to complete its initilasation. alf_start completes but trying to run virtual_start results in a Windows error
——-
Widows cannot find ' -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager'. Make sure you typed the name correctly …
——-
The cmd window has stopped at:
Using JAVA_OPTS:        -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.util.logging.config.file="${catalina.base}\conf\logging.properties"

Any ideas?

I've error in accessing Alfresco-WCM and Virtualization server both.

Alfresco server starts with errors and shows me like this, when I typed "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/":
