I've just started using the paid version of MAMP, MAMP Pro, and I'm having some trouble accessing my site via my iPad/iPhone.
I've got my MAMP server set up with the default ports (80, 3306) and am trying to visit the site on my iPad via: 10.0.1.2:80/project-name
.
But no dice, what am I doing wrong?
Use a xip.io
address.
Select your host in MAMP PRO (client.dev
in this example), go to the Advanced tab and put this in the Customized General Settings: ServerAlias client.*.xip.io
Set WP URLs to http://client.YOUR-LOCALHOST-IP-ADDRESS.xip.io
.
For development, it's better to set a static IP DHCP address in your system preferences.
Restart everything, run!
