mongoose localhost:8080 to custom name

I am trying to use mongoose web server. I installed it, works fine. I could be able to view my index page as localhost:8080. I want want to change it to, myfile.localhost/ How can i change it?

I tried the following, but it isn't working.

I added the following line in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

 127.0.0.1     myfile.localhost (not working)
 127.0.0.1:8080     myfile.localhost (not working)
 8080 myfile.localhost (not working)

How can i fix it?

Solution

  • I got it working,

    127.0.0.1       myfile.localhost
localhost       myfile.localhost

    8080 port is already in use. So made mongoose use port 80. (In mongoose setting., set listening ports to 80)

    Problem solved!!!
