Today at some Sage meeting in Paris, we encountered this problem once more
with Sage 4.7.2 vbox image within Windows 7.
The image was correctly (or seemingly correctly) preconfigured with 8000 on
the outside pointing toward 8000 on the inside and 2222 into 22.
Once more it was possible to ssh from the outside into the inside (using
putty and port 2222 as expected).
Nonetheless accessing localhost:8000 or 127.0.0.1:8000 gave a "Not found"
error.
After some random stupid ideas, changing the port forwarding of Virtualbox
to redirect 8888 (a random good looking number which has no special reason
to be in use or forbidden) from the outside to 8000 inside the virtual
machine solved the problem!
Don't ask me why Windows 7 does not like the 8000 port... nor why it
preferred the 8888 one.
