James,

My first suggestion is to create your VirtualBox without LAMP, PostgreSQL, and Tomcat.  Perhaps the SSH server is a useful addition though.  The Puppet installer will add (should add) everything that is needed to install and run CollectionSpace.

I'll go ahead and try to reproduce your issue right now.

James,

I just noticed the log info you sent contains build information for v4.2 and not v4.3 as expected.  I checked the wiki page for the installer instructions and noticed it contained a link to the v4.2 bootstrap script instead of the v4.3 bootstrap script.  I updated the page to point to the correct bootstrap script for the v4.3 release.  Here is a link to the updated wiki page:

https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Automated+installer+for+CollectionSpace+4.3

Go to the section "Downloading the bootstrap script" to get the correct bootstrap script.  Hopefully, deleting the old one from your existing VirtualBox and running the v4.3 bootstrap script will work.  Otherwise, you'll need to start with a fresh VirtualBox/Ubuntu.  Since you added "LAMP, PostgreSQL, and Tomcat", you probably want to start with a new box anyway.  By the way, one you create a clean/fresh box, I highly recommend using VirtualBoxes "snapshot" feature so you can easily and quickly rollback changes and things like failed installations.

James,

Yuk, sorry about all the typos in my emails below -trying to do too many things at once.

So updating the bootstrap script to the v4.3 version worked for me.  I did not have to start from scratch.  I just deleted the old bootstrap script and replaced it with the v4.3 version and re-ran it.  Everything seems to be working.

Once the installation is successful and you've started CollectionSpace on the VirtualBox instance, you can connect to it from your host machine by mapping the VirtualBox instance's port 8180 -see Settings->Network->Port Forwarding.  You can use 8180 for both the host port and the guest port if you want.

Then just use a browser on your host machine to connect to http://localhost:8180/collectionspace/ui/core/html/index.html

I will try the alternate script on the page you linked.  
While I was waiting to see this reply I did a fresh install of Ubuntu with only OpenSSH as an optional package.  I took a snapshot of this.  It seemed like a good idea and I'm glad to see that you confirm this.
I went go back to the snapshot and used the 4.3 script.  That seemed odd to me as well since we had talked about 4.3 being current.
This log seems more successful:

After a number of failed attempts, I was able to get my Mac to talk to CollectionSpace on the local install.  These were the networking instructions that ultimately worked:
