How can I see on my iPhone the rails app is running on my mac via Passenger

Question

Hi there, I'm developing a rails app, now I'm working on the CSS specifically for iPhone, on my mac. I've my app running via Passenger at http://whatever.local

It'd be nice to access via iPhone to the same URL so I can test my CSS quickly. But how?

Thank you,

Leo

Answer 1

Typically speaking, you'd do this by entering the network IP address of the Mac on the iphone instead of whatever.local.

http://192.168.1.1:3000/posts/ or whatever it may be!

Answer 2

http://192.168.1.1:3000/ (will vary depending on which IP was assigned to which machine.)

Don't forget to check port-forwarding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding). That gave me some problems in the past.
