Access localhost websites on Ubuntu webserver from other devices

Question

I read it's easy to do: just find the webserver machine ip local address and go to it from other devices.

So I found it (192.168.1.221) and tried from my smartphone. It gives me the apache "Apache ubuntu default page". Great, but if i try to access one of my local websites through "192.168.1.221/websitex" it doesn't works.

Make sure /websitex exist ! – Gucho Ca Oct 10 '15 at 19:53 — Gucho Ca, Oct 10 '15 at 19:53
It exists for sure! It works from the host machine – user2270248 Oct 12 '15 at 16:40 — user2270248, Oct 12 '15 at 16:40

In your httpd.conf make sure you have:

Listen *:80

And if you are using VirtualHosts then set them as given below:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
   ... 
</VirtualHost>

Httpd.conf doesn't exist in my Apache2 version. You mean ports.conf file and, anyway, listen 80 is already active. – user2270248 Oct 12 '15 at 16:41
