I want to view my project on an iPad over a local network. I have tried changing the IP address at the start from 127.0.0.01 to my IP address found using cmd and ipconfig but the files still won't load. Is this possible and how to please?
I believe that you need to run a server using a software like WAMP/MAMP/LAMP/XAMP or AMPPS. Then you may put your website in the "compiling" folder (usually it is something like htdocs or www). And finally you can use the http://localhost/ address.

everyone, I have a question to ask about "localhost"
I am a newbie and use NetBeans and Xampp as DATABASE to connect with Swift.
I use "http://localhost/" as my URL on the simulator of Mac, which works fine.
But when I change to my physical device, it has an error " can not connect to the server", how can I solve this problem?
And another question, if one day I publish the APP, what URL should I use? Is it still "http://localhost/" or anything else? I am really confused, can someone give me some advice? I would really appreciate!
localhost is 127.0.0.1 address, used only in current machine.
When you using simulator, simulator run in same machine with server, it will success access 127.0.0.1 address.
If you using real device, please find your server ip with command ifconfig and use that in App.
Hope to help you.
As was written in the comments, http://localhost/ only works on the current device (similar if you are using http://127.0.0.1). The simulator is running on your Mac, so it will work.
Since the physical device is not on your Mac, it will not work. So, for testing, you might want to set up a test server on your computer or on another machine. Then, you would replace the URL with the IP address or hostname of the server. For production, you would need to set up a server or find a hosting service. Then, you would use the URL for whatever server you go with in your app instead of http://localhost/.
I am trying to access my localhost of rails running project on my mobile device.
This is how I am trying.
http://ip:3000
But it says the webpage is not available.
I tried with another port as well and It doesn't work even there?
What's wrong here? I use to check earlier this way.
Please guide
Try running this code below to your server:
rails s -b 0.0.0.0
This worked for me!
Just give:
ip = your phone's ip address
(Check it in connection information if you are running this on Ubuntu)
ip:3000/your_page if you do not have mapped your root to some page.
Else ip:3000 will work if you have mapped root to some page.
Try it in Chrome and see as it doesn't need any http or https it automatically selects the required one.
Here is how I did it
Put both your computer and phone on the same wifi network
rails s -b 0.0.0.0
routerlogin.net (or however you access your router it will say on the back of router)
get attached devices to the router. Note your computers ip. Mine was 10.0.0.20
on phone go to 10.0.0.20:3000 (but use the ip for your computer from step 4)
I'm trying to debug my application but any URLs which contain localhost (I've tried IIS Express, Local IIS, a simple Node server, and a Python development server) are redirected to the IIS welcome screen.
Examples:
localhost:xxxx/MyController
localhost:xxxx/SomeFolder/SomeFile.html
localhost/MyApp/MyController
localhost/MyApp/SomeFolder/SomeFile.html
The URL changes from the full url to my external IP address (i.e., URL changes from localhost:xxxx/MyController to simply XX.XX.XX.XX)
I just tried launching with a brand new ASP.NET "Empty Web Site," just loading the index.html file, and same situation.
There are no entries in my hosts file and it appears that this is only happening in Chrome. Any ideas?
This works in php, so it may help you with ASP:
Run Notepad as administrator
Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file
add the following line to hosts file
127.0.0.1:123 yourserver.com
Save
Run command prompt using CMD in run or type it in start menu
Type this command and hit enter
ipconfig /flushdns
Close
go to yourserver.com
I hope this help you. Again, this works fine with PHP.
It sounds like your DNS is resolving the localhost hostname. If you're using your ISP's DNS, this may happen. You could change the DNS to Google's Public DNS. By pointing the DNS server to IP's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. See the link for details on how to configure your computer.
I'm running a Windows 7 VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 13.10 machine where I have my rails app. I access my rails app through subdomains (i.e. subdomain1.lvh.me:3000) and I'm trying to access these same subdomains through my VB. I've read to change the host file but I haven't been able to make it work. Would I be using the Gateway IP or the IPv4 address?
The reason for me trying to accomplish this is to develop on my Ubuntu machine and test for IE issues on my VB without using paid third party websites to render my changes.
I think that if, for example, your ubuntu machine's ip address is 192.168.0.123, then it should suffice to have this line in your windows hosts file
192.168.0.123 subdomain1.lvh.me subdomain2.lvh.me subdomain3.lvh.me
Then on your windows vb you would access subdomain1.lvh.me:3000 like you say.
Have you done this? I don't know what you mean by " I've read to change the host file but I haven't been able to make it work. " What isn't working?
I have defined an asp.net mvc app on server x. I added the sitename in the hostfile:
127.0.0.1 weeral.com
Also in IIS 7 i have added this as a sitebinding hostname weeral.com
When I hit http://weeral.com it responds find on the server.
However when I ping weeral.com from a different machine in the network it goes:
Ping request could not find host weeral.com. Please check the name...
what am i doing wrong?
The different machine doesn't have the same host file.
You need to map 127.0.0.1 to weeral.com on every one of the machines you use. If you used Dropbox (or something similar) you could symbolically link the machine's host file to the one in your Dropbox. I've done this for other config files, so I would think it would work for the host file.
