I have a Windows XP system with CF8 development edition setup on a Parallels VM on my OS X machine that I use for development.
CF8 is using the built-in webserver, so I access my development sites on this VM on localhost:8500
.
So, I would like to be able to access the localhost of my VM from OSX, so that I can test my development sites on Safari, and the iOS simulator without having to install CF8 on OSX.
Any idea how to do this?
I use this method (along with custom DNS entries in my HOSTS file) all day long, and have for several years. Definitely works well. – Dan Short – 2011-10-12T17:14:50.120
@DanShort So there's no specific configuration to make in CF server? – slhck – 2011-10-12T22:32:57.160
1Nope, just remember that as far as your Mac and Windows are concerned, they're different computers. Parallels is just a go-between, and you need to treat the Windows box as if it's a machine sitting on the other side of your house, not on the same hard drive as OSX. – Dan Short – 2011-10-13T01:50:23.383
