I'm trying to access a database that is hosted in a Mac localhost from my Android device which are both connected to the same network.
The localhost project is running at www.localhost:8000/
I've entered the IP: 192.168.1.1 (of my laptop connection) to my phone browser and I was able to see the root folder of my project.
However, when I attempted to run it at 192.168.1.1:8000/
, I was not able to access anything and the web browser returned "Webpage not available".
So the issue now is that I can access the root folder using my Android device but I cannot access the "localhost server" of my laptop.
:8000
? Can you actually see something at192.168.1.1:8000
with a browser on the Mac?localhost1
refers to the other computer. You would need to connect to192.168.1.1:8000
from the other computer (the phone). You probably know that, but I'm just trying to make it clear. BTW192.168.1.1
sounds like the ADSL2+ modem I use, and the various computers in my LAN have IP addresses like192.168.1.x
