In at terminal in your VM try
wget http://localhost:3000
if that succeeds then the server is running ok and is accessible from
within the VM. The problem then is how to access the server in the VM
from Windows. Sorry but I know nothing about VirtualBox so can't help
there. Possibly a VirtualBox list would be a better place to ask.
Perhaps you can install a GUI into the VM so you can run the browser
there, or alternatively install a version of Linux with a GUI as a new
VM and run the app there.

Sorry no idea about any of this, again it does not appear to be to do
with Rails.

My guess is that the app is running fine, it is just that you cannot
see it from Windows.
