Question

I´m trying to test a website in my Iphone that I have running on my localhost on Mountain Lion.

First I created wireless from the mac called “webdev”, then, with the Iphone I connected to it and the access to internet works, the problem is when I try to enter to my Mac localhost site it keeps loading with no result, also if I try to enter to the root: “http://webdev.local” I get a Forbidden error.

Any idea why I can´t connect with my Iphone to local sites on my mac?

I guess if you get a Forbidden error, you should check permissions on your webserver. I’ve got a similar problem in my pc ( using Fedora ), and I solved it giving permissions to any user to execute files in my webserver, with a chmod like this:

chmod +x -R /path/to/webserver-files/

Hope it helps!
