i need to test my web site, running on a local Mac, under several browsers in Windows.
Overall: We use Parallels Desktop for Mac on all of our Macs in our company. It makes it easy for our mac users to run the few needed Windows applications while still keeping the look and feel of the Mac OS that they are used to. Certificate warning in Outlook 2016 for Mac.

Edit the Host File on Mac OSX 10.6 and point it to Windows 7 localhost in Parallels 6 Pointing out your local sites in the host file in Windows is easy but I found out it wasn’t that obvious on Mac.

When I have tried personally MAMP Professional for Mac + Parallels Home windows VM previously, I typically enter a hosts entry in Home windows like. When I'm developing in Windows I run a localhost copy of the web site in IIS7 (I have Vista on my Mac). Up until now I've kept the site files in the Parallels VM windows drive, but this has constantly annoyed me because I don't back up my Windows drive with Time Capsule.
Parallels Windows Mac Localhost
I use Windows XP, installed in Parallels Desktop.
It would be great, when i will be able to access my http://localhost:3000 from Windows, sitting in virtual environment (Parallels).
How to wire all the stuff up ?
Update:
I figured out, how to access shared web-site on the mac.
I have following settings:
Parallels Desktop -> Preferences -> Network -> Shared Network
'Parallels Shared Networking Adapter #0' i tweaked with ip=192.168.123.1
From WinXP this ip is accessible via ping.
When on the Mac i turn the 'Shared Web' on, the address 'http://imac.local/~AntonAL' will get accessible from WinXP and Mac. Note, that i have set the name of my mac to 'iMac', which is equivalent to ip=192.168.123.1
But, the only problem, i can't figure out is unaccessible port 3000.
So, the address 'http://imac.local:3000' is still does't work from WinXP. Actually, it is not accessible even from the Mac ... possible i'm doing something wrong.
The question is - which address should i use in WinXP-side, to be able to access 'localhost:3000' on the Mac-side? Tried ips of 'Parallels Shared Networking Adapter #0', gateway, ip of the Mac, but still no success ...

Try finding out your Mac's local IP address and accessing the webpage on your VM using that address.
You can find out your Mac's IP address under System Preferences, using the command ifconfig, or with some apps or Dashboard widgets (like iSlayer's iStat).
Parallel For Mac
Type 'ipconfig' on your Windows command line. You will see information similar to what I see below:
If you note, in the last line is your Default Gateway and two lines above that is IPv4 Address. Default Gateway is the virtual router between your Windows and Mac OS X. Since, Windows is using IP address of x.x.x.3 and router is using x.x.x.1, then Mac is available at x.x.x.2. In my case I am able to access Mac at 10.211.55.2. So you can access your web server using http://x.x.x.2/ and in my case I use:
I have edited my Windows 'hosts' file with following entry:
Now, I can type http://localhost.mac/ to access the web server running on my Mac. Though, this step of editing 'hosts' file in not required, it helps me.
As a side note, you can access your Windows based web server from Mac using the IPv4 address you get when you type 'ipconfig' on Windows.
Another way you can get Mac's virtual IP address is to type the following command on Mac OS X's Terminal:
'vnic0' is the virtual ethernet that Parallels installs on your Mac. In case, you have multiple Virtual Machine instances running you will see multiple virtual ethernet. All these virtual ethernets will begin with the word 'vnic'. If you have two VMs running, you will see 'vnic0' and 'vnic1' listed when you simply run 'ifconfig' command on Terminal.
In my case, when I type 'ipconfig vnic0' I get the following output, you will note that you get inet x.x.x.x IP address listed which.
I hope this helps you.
Cheers!

My successful settings for access localhost:8001 for win (localhost running on my Macintosh).
- Setup Parallels Shared network: In menu settings
Configure > Hardware > Network adapter 1: Default Adapterand then in Configure settings:Preferences > Advanced > Network: Change Settings > Shared. - Then run this in the Macintosh command line:
ifconfig | grep inet. - Get the IP from subnet. Mine is
10.211.55.2. - If your local site running on the Mac as:
http://localhost:8001/Then be sure setup hosts: Open in mac/etc/hostsand write it down—like in my case—10.211.55.2 localhostinstead of127.0.0.1 localhost - Be sure thats your port is open
8001in Windows and Mac. Follow next steps. - For Macintosh:
nmap -p 8001 10.211.55.2it should success status (port open). - For Windows:
telnet 10.211.55.2 8001it should success status (port open). - Open hosts file in Windows and write. For example:
10.211.55.2 localhost - Open the Windows browser and open the site
http://localhost:8001
Just run in the terminal:
Parallels For Mac Home
And go to vnic0: inet address from the Parallels (like http://1x.2xx.5x.2:3000/ for ex.)
