If you _can_ connect, then I'd try and look for errors in Apache logs. Try access just the default 'It Works' page etc. Check if you can access the VM on port 80 by runnign this in a terminal:
telnet 192.168.1.111 80

If that does not connect, then I’d check for firewalls on CentOS, check Apache is listening on the right interface not just localhost.

I've created a VM of CentOS on my MacBook Pro with the ethernet set to Bridged. So, the VM has it's own static IP address of 192.168.1.111 Within the "hosts" file on the VM, I've got: 127.0.0.1 dev.example.com Within the "hosts" file on my MacBook Pro (the host machine), I've got: 192.168.1.111 dev.example.com Now the site works fine from within the VM, but doesn't pull up anything from the host MacBook Pro... I've spent literally 2 days trying to setup this stupid network and I have no idea what the issue is! :X Hey Ashley,

I’ve created a VM of CentOS on my MacBook Pro with the ethernet set to Bridged. So, the VM has it’s own static IP address of 192.168.1.111

Within the “hosts” file on the VM, I’ve got:

127.0.0.1 dev.example.com

Within the “hosts” file on my MacBook Pro (the host machine), I’ve got:

192.168.1.111 dev.example.com

Now the site works fine from within the VM, but doesn’t pull up anything from the host MacBook Pro…

I’ve spent literally 2 days trying to setup this stupid network and I have no idea what the issue is! :X

Hi, Eric
Not sure if it’s a copy paste issue, but your other box hosts file has:
192.168.1.156 jennylynne.net

That needs to match the ServerName in the Apache config, which is .dev. let me know if that was the issue.

Thanks for the writeup.. I’m in the middle of trying to accomplish exactly this.

Here’s my setup:
MBP + MAMP + VirtualHost = My development environment

I want to view the websites I’m currently developing from anywhere on my local network (exactly what this article lays out), but I’m having some trouble here… :-/

This is my vhost file on my development box:

# Created Wed Feb 9 23:13:24 PST 2011
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/jennylynne
ServerName jennylynne.dev

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/jennylynne/cgi-bin

<Directory /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/jennylynne>
Options All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Here’s my /etc/hosts file from my development box:

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##

127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

127.0.0.1 jennylynne.dev

Here’s my /etc/hosts file from the computer on the same local network:

192.168.1.156 jennylynne.net

The problem is that I simply get a directory listing of my /Applications/MAMP/htdocs folder when loading up http://jennylynne.dev on my “local network” computer, whereas when i go to the same URL on my dev box, the site loads up fine. any thoughts?

P.S. – I’ve verified the IP address also..

What would I do to connect to a folder on the remote machine, where my virtual host is set up? Can I do that? Thanks Interesting post!
