Matrix Version: 5.4.0.3
Oracle Virtual Box Version: 5.1.24
I am downloading the VM file from here: https://matrix.squiz.net/releases/vm
I import it and set up the Network, using Bridged (default) and also NAT (because Bridged is failing). Either way I set up networking, I get this error in my browser when I try to use google chrome on the advertised network address:
Matrix Notice
URL “http://10.1.1.20” not found [SYS0218]
Cheers,

That’s what you’d expect to happen.
For an IP address to work like that in Matrix, you have to first add it as a system root URL, then add it as a URL to a Site asset. We can’t preconfigure those things in the Matrix demo VM because we don’t know what IP the VM might be assigned on your network.
Instead, you should make sure you’ve followed the instructions at:
https://matrix.squiz.net/releases/vm#editing-your-local-hosts-file
and then go to http://matrixdemo.squiz.net rather than http://10.1.1.20.
My fault - I forgot to mention that when I use the URL ‘http://matrixdemo.squiz.net’ I get this error (yes, I have edited my hosts file, it looks like this:
…
10.65.95.36 http://matrixdemo.squiz.net
In my browser, using the URL, I get:
‘Matrix Notice
URL “http://matrixdemo.squiz.net” not found [SYS0218]’
I get this whether I use Bridged Adaptor or NAT in my network settings for Virtual Box.
I’m assuming the HOSTS file entry you listed there was actually:
10.65.95.36 matrixdemo.squiz.net
without the http:// ? Otherwise you should’ve gotten a DNS error from your browser, not a SYS0218 error.
What do you get when you go to http://matrixdemo.squiz.net/_admin? Can you log in as per https://matrix.squiz.net/releases/vm#logging-in-and-using-squiz-matrix?
Hi Marcus,
Indeed the ‘http://’ does not exist in my hosts file, just in my hastily written reply above.
I have found that ‘http://matrixdemo.squiz.net/_admin/’ does in fact work in my browser. I was only using ‘http://matrixdemo.squiz.net’ thinking that this would work based on the hosts file entry.
Thanks. I can start evaluating now.
