Testing local web page on iphone/ipad

I have an Apache webserver running on my win7 machine that links to some local folder on my hdd. I made a mobile website and i can easily access it from my computer (by going through the webserver). However when i try to access it from my iphone or ipad device, i manage to browse through the files fine, even open images and .js files but when i try open the webpage 90% of the time it times out, and the other 10% of the time it tends to render in very odd ways (as if css of js files are not being loaded.)

I would have thought there was a path error somewhere but in the Apache log i see all the linked files being accessed perfectly fine (i.e GET /Crash%20Test/test2.htm HTTP/1.1" 200 1338).

I'm not that familiar with web servers and networking, so any help would be gre开发者_JAVA百科atly appreciated!

Thank you, Matt

Check your html, could be missing a close tag or something silly like that. IE is VERY forgiving, so it may appear correctly on your pc, but on safari it wont.

Also check with safari on your PC (enable developer tools) and see if any warnings or errors are given. HTH

As you have not provided deployment diagram, let me try by considering following assumptions

1. You are using XAMPP for local apache webserver
2. It is installed in C Drive
3. Your website folder in in C:\xampp\htdocs\nameofsitefolder
4. Apache is running on default port

If all of the above assumptions are correct. Go to Command Prompt on the computer where the Webserver is installed and type ipconfig. Make a note of your IP Address. Now on your mobile device replace the word localhost with the ipaddress and add the name of site folder after a slash

For example, if it is localhost/nameofsitefolder change it to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nameofsitefolder
