Not able to preview localhost in any devices

Question

I can't open the localhost web page on my iPad or iPhone. Its is very important because im working in my app locallly, so i need to open it locally in my devices.
I got the message:
"An error occurred"
"Web page not available"
Follow the check list:
- I'm using a Mac osX Moutain Lion, Chrome and an iPad and iPhone.
- I start one new Yeoman web app with Grunt server running
- Wich is node server: grunt-contrib-connect - https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-connect
- Firewall if off
- Put the files into the mac SITE folder with ALL permitions: chmod -R 777
- The URL works fine in my computer on Chrome and other browsers as well in my computer: http://localhost:9000/
- My ip address shoying in the Adobe inspect wiget is 192.168.1.2
- If i put this ip in the Edge option doent work as well, still i cant open the local address it in my devices
- If i go to my device and put my computer ip wich is 192.168.1.2 folloiwing the port:9000 its NOT open and show the message: "Safari could not open the page because it could not connect to the server"
- Yes the tool works if i put any other URL any other web site preview works nicely
- Yes i read the post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5029389#5029389, but its is a diferent server
Please, how can i solve this? If i able to solve it i'll buy the upgrade and start the full version.
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

I suspect the issue is that the site is available only to your computer and not to other computers or devices.
Try this:
On your device open the native browser and input the URL to your device, using the device IP... e.g. http://192.168.1.2/mysite/index.html
Does that work for you? If your native browser can't get to the site using the computer's IP address then the Edge Inspect app on your devices won't be able to either. I'd guess that there's some setting in either Yeoman or Grunt you need to set that will open the site up to outside computers.
Let me know if you have any other questions,
