El Capitan无法通过LAN中的外部设备连接到Localhost服务器

Question

Trying to test a local web app developed on my mac running El Capitan using my iPhone. I'm able to pull up the web app using my internal ip on the actual mac, but when using another device connect to the same network it's not working. This use to work fine on previous versions of osx, but ever since upgrading to El Capitan, this hasn't been working properly.

Any hints or solutions to this problem? Thanks

I have a website on my Mac running off MAMP. I couldn't connect to it via IP on another computer. I turned off the firewall on the Mac and could connect by just typing in the IP into the address bar. Mine happened to be 192.168.1.69 . To get the actual website, I did have to include the port number, ie 192.168.1.69:8888 . Make sure that you are using your private IP, not your public one (should start 192.168.XX or 10.XXX ). This worked to connect from another computer and from my phone.
