Making webserver available from Centos VMWARE image
I've downloaded a Centos 5.0 VMWARE image and succesfully installed Xampp on it.
However, I can't access the websites from outside the VMWARE image. I probably just need to configure hosts and networking correctly but I have no clue about this.
Here are the various data that may help in solving this issue.
The ip address of the Centos VMWARE Image is :192,168.80.128, Bcast: 192.168.80.255, Mask: 255.255.255.0
The ip address of my local machine (where the vmware is running is 192.168.80.1). I've put in a entry in my local machines host file (centos.test.com) that points to 192.168.80.128.
Now I guess it's just a matter of configure networking-address and hosts correctly. Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks.

From what I know of CentOS - yes the firewall will be on by default. I do not know how to disable it - does it have some sort of web management interface you can access? Like webmin or similar?

It was the firewall. I stopped it with this command
# /etc/init.d/iptables stop
And now everything works. Thanks.
