I have searched around a fair amount and I have yet to find any info on getting Paralles to work with Passenger. My dev box is running Leopard, then I have Parallels set up to run Vista just for IE really. With Mongrel I could access it thru Parallels at 192.168.1.100:3000 in IE. For instance my vHost ServerName is testsite.local when I call that up in Vista Parallels IE it doesn’t work. How would I get Parallels to work with Passenger? Thanks a ton. Elliott ---

What does Passenger have to do with anything?? You could access your server by IP: 192.168.1.100 but you say you _can’t_ access it via hostname: testsite.local That means Vista is unable to resolve that hostname. Add your server name to whatever hosts file Vista uses. – Hassan S. ------------------------ removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid twitter: @hassan ---

Parallels just blew up on me. Once I get it back online, I’ll try what you have recommended. Thanks Frederick! On Aug 28, 1:13 pm, Frederick C. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---
