Have installed Ubuntu 6.06 in a Parallels VM. However, I cannot connect to the Parallels VM from OSX. I have installed Oracle XE database on the Ubuntu instance and would like to be able to connect to that.
Make sure you are using bridged ethernet, this will insure your VM gets its own ip address. Also make sure you configured your oracle xe to allow remote connection and administration. Open a console windows in your linux session. Type ifconfig. What do you get as the ip address for your linux machine? call it <ip>, now open safari and use http://<ip>:8080/apex as the address to connect to. You should see the oracle XE home administration login page.
