I use Windows (7) OS as a development platform, running on a Mac / Parallels Desktop 5.

I would like to access the Windows localhost - from the Mac side for testing purposes.

Parallels 9 free download for mac. Sometimes, Mac users need to run Windows software. Maybe there's a program you need for work that doesn't offer a Mac version, or maybe you occasionally need to test websites in Internet Explorer. Whatever you need Windows for, Parallels is the best tool for the job. Parallels 11 is a polished virtualisation solution that allows Mac users to switch easily between OS X and Windows apps, regardless of which operating system they were written for.

I've found many solutions of accessing the other way around (access Mac's localhost from Windows) - but found no solution for this access direction (if any).

Any idea ? Is it possible ?

I had the same problem as you Ranch. I'm running Win7 on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) / Parallels 5. I solved my localhost problem on mac , by turning off win7 firewall and 'enable' anonymous authentication in Authentication setting in IIS Manager.

Also I've configured in parallels:

  1. Configure - hardware - Network adapter 1: Default Adapter

  2. Preferences - network - connection type - shared networking

Edit: For Parallels 8

  1. Configure > Hardware > Network adapter 1: Default Adapter

The above didn't help me, but this did:

  • Go to Windows VM, go to Start --> Run.. --> type cmd.exe

  • Parallels for mac resize partition. The windows command line opens. Type ipconfig and find out yourIP4-adress.

  • Edit your macs hosts file as described in this blogpost. Put in thefollowing line, replacing my windows VMs local IP (here 10.211.55.5) with the one you found out in the step before:

Then, you can access the localhost of windows using win instead of localhost, for example http://windows:8080/someapp

This depends on how your network card is setup in the virtual machine. I don't know how it is in parallels, but in VMWare Fusion you can either set it up as 'bridged' (which means sharing the same ip with the host), 'NAT' which means it will have it's own private ip address and connect to the internet through the host , or 'Private network' which means it will have a private IP address and will not connect to the internet. In the second and third case you can access the web server running on windows using the private ip address of the virtual machine, but in the bridge case I don't think this can be done.

Sounds to me like your Parallels config is set to Host-Only networking for the Guest.Switching to Shared Networking should give your guest Windows OS a local IP address.

Then, you will have to access the Windows local IP address (not 127.0.0.1) from the Mac browser. You can find out the IP address to use by opening a command prompt in the Windows guest and taking a look at the output of the ipconfig command.

I have followed the instructions above and Akku's provided the important hint, although for me it did not work.When I run ipconfig in the windows command line, I get 10.211.55.3 as an IPv4-Address and 10.211.55.1 as the standard gateway. Using 10.211.55.3 in the windows hosts file (C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts) did not work - not sure why. So I tried: 10.211.55.2 and it worked.

Summing up: you have to set up your apache virtual host config first as described and then you have to open: C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts and enter: 10.211.55.2 mysite.localhost (or whatever you defined in your virtual host config file). Hope this helps for those with the same problem as me.
