Hi,

Just got some time to have another go at seeing the webpage (wordpress
Site) on local lan.

I think I tried it with not firewall but not sure!

I have now put it on my Android and can see my PC on 192.168.0.19.

I did have a Upnp server (Serviio) running and have now removed it for
simplicity.

I can see the website on localhost using the PC
I can ping it via "Fing" on the Android.
I had SElinux running "enforcing" but with no warnings, set it to
permissive to rule that out.
httpd is set to run as apache user and apache group with me (user peter)
in group apache.

I still cannot connect via Android on Firefox using the IP address.
It does change in the url box to "localhost" then reports "Unable to
connect".

What simple thing am I doing wrong! is it on the PC or Android?

Nothing is happening in "httpd access_log20161105" this evening BUT
there was an android line at 11:30:38 from 192.168.0.13 (my Android IP
address), there may be a clue there but its a bit beyond my comprehension!:
