I'm running the app engine devserver on localhost:8080, and want to access it from ie7 running on parallels.
I've tried all of the tips here:
How Do I Access The Host Machine From The Guest Machine?
And they seem like they should work, particularly accessing via the gateway ip address. I've also
sudo ipfw add allow tcp from 8080 to 8089
for good measure. Still no dice. I can access the external internet from ie7. The connection settings on parallels are set to 'Shared networking'. I'm out of ideas.
You're not by any chance running it on localhost/127.0.0.1 on OS X and are trying to get at it using localhost/127.0.0.1 from XP?
If so, that's likely to be your problem - I would seriously doubt that the two instances of the OS share the loopback interface as that's specific to the OS.
I'd run it on OS X using the local IP and not localhost, then use the IP address to access it from XP. This should work if the XP box can see the host.

my web server is on wsl, and beeware is on anaconda (windows version not linux), how do I configure beeware app to communicate with wsl server.
is there a feasible way?
current I'm using ngrok host as a gateway.
Is there any alternate way that doesn't require data packet to travel outside my system
Is there any guide to develop a local system?
I'm going to attempt to answer this generically since I don't currently use Beeware/Anaconda. I tried skimming the Beeware docs, but too much of it (including the "publish", which might be a key element in the nginx integration) is "Coming soon".
Assuming there are no virtual machines or containers in the mix, Windows should detect ports on the WSL2 instance and map them correctly to localhost. For instance, if in WSL you python3 -m http.server 3000, then you should be able to open that page in a Windows web browser at http://localhost:3000. So, by default, Anaconda on Windows should be able to access your web server in WSL through localhost. If this isn't happening:
First, make sure that nginx is listening on 0.0.0.0
Sometimes the Windows localhost auto-mapping seems to break. See this answer for some additional ideas. A quick-fix is often to just do a wsl --shutdown to reset the interfaces. A longer-term fix might be to disable Windows Fast Startup.
On the flip side, if there is any connection from nginx that needs to be made to Beeware/Anaconda, WSL2 does not map localhost back to the Windows host. You'll need to access it by the Windows host IP.
The easiest method is using mDNS, meaning from within WSL2 you can access the Windows host at the mDNS name "mycomputername.local", where mycomputername is the Windows "computer name".
See this answer for more details and alternatives if mDNS doesn't work.
I have just started using Parallels for Mac, and am attempting to debug a locally running web application on my host MacOS machine.
I have figured out that I can connect to the my host via 10.211.55.2 in the browser in my virtual windows machine.
What I'd like to do is to instead connect via localhost and have this routed through to the 10.211.55.2 ip instead.
I tried editing my windows hosts file with an 10.211.55.2 localhost entry but this made no difference.
Is this possible to do?
localhost is hardcoded in many libraries. In theory it should be possible, but it would break a lot of things, including not being able to boot up the system. Connections to localhost are used frequently for interprocess communication throughout the system, so there's more to it then you using it for testing websites. Just go with another name.
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 am hosting a Oracle Linux 6.5 OS using VMWare on my windows 7 laptop. The VM is configured to use NAT networking configuration, and I am able to ping the guest OS successfully from my windows machine. Also, I am able to access internet from within my guest OS.
However, I am unable to access a web application running on port 8080 on a web server hosted within the guest OS using a browser in my host OS. The application is however accessible when accessed from a browser within the guest OS.
Some observations that may be of some use:
1. Neither my laptop, nor the VM have a static IP address.
2. I am able to ping my guest OS from host, and vice versa
3. Firewalls are disabled on both my laptop as well as the guest OS
Any help would be highly appreciated
The reason for the above issue could be mostly because of firewall settings/rules enabled in guest OS OEL. To check the rules you can type iptables -L -n at bash prompt which will display FILTER rules (CHAIN INPUT/OUTPUT/FORWARD).
Adding filters to allow the host to access guest http protocol would make things work. On the other hand, if this is for developmental purposes you can completely disable the firewall filter by saying
service iptables stop. Keep in mind that this is not a safe approach as it exposes your guest to the world without a firewall especially if you are using a bridged network connection.
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.
