CruiseControl unable to open connection in Guest OS

I want to run CruiseControl 2.8.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 running in VirtualBox 4.0.12. When I start CruiseControl with default options, it is unable to open a connection to port 8080 for the dashboard. Port forwarding didn't make a difference, but I am not trying to access it from outside anyway.

I am running cruisecontrol on a new user account I created, and I have set the same privileges as the main account I setup on Ubuntu. Just to see if it was a firewall issue, I tried Jetty 7 with default settings and it was able to connect on port 8080.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.....

Found the problem... its because I had not setup the reporting tool under Tomcat, which I did, built and deployed reporting jar in local instance and the errors are gone. I thought that cruisecontrol would kick off the jetty server for reporting too.
