Web interface in 1.0.0 forbids external access?

Postby mguertin » 10 Jul 2009 23:15

I can access locally via loopback, but any other machine on my network it gives me "403 Forbidden (/)"

Ok I found them ... do I need to edit all 3 of them?

Code: Select all

VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/.hosts VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/http/.hosts VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/http/dialogs/.hosts
