OS X / Parallels / local webserver for testing

[mostwanted76]

i switched from PC to MAC a few weeks ago.

for testing-purpose i have installed PARALLELS - so i am able to run OS X and WIN xp both at the same time.

i run MAMP as my local webserver under OS X - so i test my local coded webprojects via http://localhost:8888/

my question: how can i test these sites also with my windows-browsers using PARALLELS?

i think i have to install a WAMP on WIN xp?

i tried, but i had problems in pointing to the folder where my webprojects are located in the apache-config-file.

can anybody help? thanks!

Look into the Parallels client network configuration. You should be able to just run off your OS/X server.

I don't run Parallels but I do run client VMs on my Ubuntu host and IE6 on XP Pro in a Virtual Box VM can access my Apache running on Ubuntu. Let's say my Ubuntu host name is xyzzy. Firefox in Ubuntu gets to http://localhost/ just fine. IE in the Vbox XP VM gets to http://xyzzy/ and sees the same thing while going to http://localhost/ gets IE to the IIS running on the XP VM.
