What you need to do is open the file “C: WINDOWS system32 drivers etc hosts” in Notepad or any editor. You will see the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Underneath this, add another entry with 127.0.0.1 and your mydomain.xxx. Use the localhost one as a guide. If http://localhost:8080 works, and you want http://xyz:8080 to work, add the line:
127.0.0.1 xyz
Once you do this, it should work.
(sorry I had to put spaces in the path, it didn’t look right otherwise because it changed the to the hex value)
