Q: Unable to connect to localhost server via external device on LAN
HI All,
I appear to be having an issue connecting to a local host server I have running on my Mac - running El Capitan - from an external device on the LAN. I have searched the Internet for solutions, and all I have found is guides on changing a few of the files in /etc/apache2 to allow certain things to run, of which I have made the changes. I used to be able to connect just fine using an external device (such as an iPad or iPhone) when the Mac was running Mavericks and Yosemite.
It appears to me that given the changes I've made, which appear to be the same as what I had to do in Mavericks/Yosemite from what I recall, there is something else that needs to be changed, needs to be run or something that is (new in El Capitan and) blocking the connection.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Has anyone got a solution to this issue?
Get in touch Much appreciated.
MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
