How can I access my virtual host like http://copywriters.localhost inside my Windows 10 VirtualBox?

I already set this:

In VM Host File:

10.0.2.2 localhost
10.0.2.2 copywriters.localhost

In my Host PC:

127.0.0.1 copywriters.localhost

I can ping http://copywriters.localhost in VM. But can access on browser.

Virtualbox treats Host and Guest like two independent systems on a network: localhost ports on system A cannot be seen by applications on system B. Vbox Guest Additions will permit you to share the filesystem on the host, but not ports. – user535733 Oct 09 '18 at 06:51

Don’t replace the default localhost with a different address (10.0.2.2 localhost)! Can you connect to your host system using the IP address? – Melebius Oct 09 '18 at 07:18
@Melebius I can connect with my phpmyadmin http://10.0.2.2/phpmyadmin but can't connect using this http://localhost/phpmyadmin in my VM – TRD-Warren Oct 09 '18 at 07:42

In this case, the line 10.0.2.2 copywriters.localhost should be sufficient AFAIK. – Melebius Oct 09 '18 at 07:43
127.0.0.1 copywriters.localhostis not correct. Assuming it's a bridged network, you need the same 10.0.2.2 copywriters.localhost rule. – RobotHumans Oct 09 '18 at 12:43
