I'm using Free MAMP to host my website. But I'm not able to see that web page from my iPhone which is in the same subnet/wifi as my Mac.
Please help me out.
Peace
All you have to do is go to a web browser and enter the ip of the machine running the mamp server followed by a colon (:) and 8888.
ex. 192.168.1.2:8888

I am running easyphp with apache version 2.4.18 x86 (32-bit) on Windows 10.
On the PC where easyphp is running, I can connect using either localhost or http://computername, but if I try to connect through the local IP address which is http://192.168.0.10, I get a white page without any error message.
And the most strange thing, if I plug an iPhone (USB) with a shared connexion in the PC (the PC gets 2 network connections), then I can access to http://192.168.0.10 through the PC (still the wifi IP local address and not the iPhone local network address).
If I unplug the iPhone, then it fails again to connect to http://192.168.0.10.
Any explanation ?
So it was a firewall problem.
Evene when desactivating the firewall, the web site was not reachable.
I've added manually the
EasyPHP16\eds-binaries\httpserver\apache2418vc11x86x160927105506\bin\eds-httpserver.exe
in the Windows firewall rules, and it worked.
The two strange things is that disabling the firewall did not arrange anything, and lanching the webserver did not pop up the firewall dialog.
Hope this helps.
I just wrote a hello world application with Vaadin. The development was done on windows 10 running on parallels and I left the web service running on the windows virtual machine. I can access the service from a browser on windows through the url: localhost:8080/hello-world. I found out the IP address of the windows virtual machine with ifconfig and, if I type the url: ipaddress:8080/hello-world on a browser running on the mac, it works as well. However, my colleagues on the intranet cannot access the web application through the same url. What am I missing here? Is the service only visible to me? Are there any firewall issues? Setup problems with the parallels virtual machine?
Thanks very much in advance.
I just found the answer, but sidgate, thanks for your help. The bottomline is that I was running the windows virtual machine in shared mode. Apparently, if you do that, the windows virtual machine is in a subnet with your own mac, and the mac is the router. I switched to the bridge method with the default adapter and I then get an ip address on my intranet, which is visible by everyone.

I have a mac running Lion OS, and Windows 7 Ultimate installed on VMware Fusion
on my Windows machine, I have IIS running and I can access it from my mac browser using the IP address such as:
http://192.168.0.10
I am developing an iPhone app on xcode and connecting to IIS as a server to access MS Server DB for testing.
my problem is that I use my mac on many networks such as Work, Home, MiFi and others
every time I change the network the IP changes and every time I need to access IIS I need to update my server IP in my app.
even on my home netwrok or MiFi the IP is the same every time I connect (Dynamic)
I am thinking to access the IIS using the PC name on my windows 7 machine like this:
http://mypcname
to make easier to test without editing the IP every time.
Can anyone guide me how to do that? I did search around many sites and forums to figure it out with no success, maybe I am missing something.
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to test my iPhone application on the device.
I have a mac computer which stores my development environment.
Right now I can only access PHP files using the http://localhost/PHPFileLocation
which does not work when I try to test my app on real device.
How do I configure apache2 to be accessible from outside?
Is it possible to configure it to a specific IP address?
I want to reach some php scripts located on my development machine running apache2 from my iPhone device.
Thanks
If your computer has a WiFi card then you should be able to attach the iPhone remotely to a ad-hoc Wifi network created on your dev machine.
I'm assuming your Mac is behind a router. You should be able to configure your router to port forward connections to your WAN facing IP address to port 80 (the HTTP port) on your Mac - see http://portforward.com/ for some help.
You may also need to turn the firewall off on your Mac.
Once this is set up correctly you can hit http://yourexternalIP/PHPFileLocation in your iPhone app and this will be directed by your router to the Apache2 server on your Mac. The external IP is normally found on your router's admin page somewhere.
I asked a very similar question not too long ago and got some great responses. I've made it pretty far but still can't quite get things to talk. What I have is a PC running IIS and a web service inside of that. I'm trying to get the iPhone simulator on my Mac to be able to see this web service. I can ping my PCs local IP address from the Mac just fine, it's clearly alive and on the network. However, no matter what URL I enter into Safari the web service will not appear.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance.
Is this a web service or web application?
One fair possibility is that your Windows firewall could be blocking access to port 80. If it is, open your Windows firewall settings and add an exception for port 80 (Control Panel -> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions).
You might try using telnet on your Mac to test connecting to the web service/application.
