Anyone having issues with /etc/hosts on MacOS ?
I'm trying to set up an entry in my /etc/hosts to map 127.0.0.1 to a website I'm working on. It's not working. The weird part is that when I ping it
ping web.site it is correctly routing to 127.0.0.1 but it wouldn't work in the browser.
I just bought my laptop a couple of days ago so this definitely isn't a browser cache issue or something like that (AFAIK at least)
Any thoughts ?6 Replies
include the port on the browser side. e.g. if this is a next app youd do web.site:3000 (3000 being the default port for nextjs)
I need to do it without specifying the port since another app will connect to it
I set up a reverse proxy using nginx but that comes with a new set of problems I suppose
Thanks for the response!
you can have the other app connect using the port
Not my code
The thing is
then nginx rev proxy would be the best bet
/ some other rev proxy
This used to work fine on my Linux machine before switching
So yeah reverse proxy is prolly the way to go
