I am working on a mobile website and would like to test it using my iPhone browser. My Windows 7 machine and iPhone are on the same wireless network. How do I access localhost from the iPhone? Right now I get a 404 error.

    Accessing localhost from the iPhone will simply do a loopback / try to connect to itself (If it supports that?).

    What you need to do is find the IP of your desktop machine (e.g. If Windows, go to the Command Prompt and type ipconfig or go to Network and Sharing Centre and look up connection status.

    Once you have your ip, simply visit that from your browser e.g. http://192.168.0.102.

    You may need to open up port 80 (or whatever port your website is running on) in the inbound security of your firewall if you are running one.

    Note: don’t forget the app’s port if what you want is to debug the app in
    your iPhone’s browser like: http://192.168.0.102:3000. In this example 3000 is the default port used by ReactJS.
