Rails: how to get parallels with Pow

Question

I recently started using Pow to develop local Rails applications. I usually use parallels 7 for cross-browser testing. I ran into a problem when my POW development URL - for example, somesubdomain.domain.dev - is not accessible from parallel virtual machines.

Has anyone managed to create a combination of pow + parallels? Suggestions?

Answer 1

Adding my experience to this question, although this was asked a few months ago. I have had a similar problem lately, and although I never accessed my url from a Windows machine, I followed the instructions here and was able to connect to the local application from parallels:

The message was written for Snow Leopard, but I also managed to use Lion.

For cross-browser testing, I run the rails server on localhost: 3000.

I would also like to get a better solution :-)
