So, I've been using MAMP for years, and used to point MAMP's document root to my Sites folder and view my sites on the iPad like this:
10.0.1.2:8888/site-name
Recently, I've switched over to the paid version of MAMP (MAMP Pro), and have been setting up separate servers for each of my sites.
The problem I'm now having is I can view the site on my local machine via (dev.site-name.com), but when I try and view that same URL on my iPad it doesn't work.
I've got my MAMP server set up with the default ports (80, 3306) so naturally I've tried 10.0.1.2:80/site-name, but still, that doesn't work.
Can anyone help me out with what I might be doing wrong?
It doesn't wok because dev.site-name.com is defined locally on your development machine.
When I'm testing mobile devices, on my Linux dev. system, I run: ifconfig in the terminal to get wlan ip address, then I just use that on my mobile device with appropriate port.
You might also have wireless router that generates dynamic ip addresses so this address might change over time.
