Unable to load app running on desktop localhost on iPhone browser over local network - configuration problem?

I am running a Python app on my desktop's localhost, and want to test it on my iPhone over my local network. I am using Win7 with the latest Titanium studio. Everything works fine on my local machine, but I cannot access it from my iPhone's browser over wifi. I am also running xampp on my desktop and as a result, had to change Titanium studio's port to 8080.

So to clarify. I can access my xampp fine from my iPhone by navigating to http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx (my desktop's IP)

With my Titanium studio running, I can access my site from my desktop at http://localhost:8080 but when I try to load over wifi on my phone (http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8080) it will not load.

To see my xampp with my phone I had to change my .conf to prevent it from a Deny all, is there a similar configuration for Titanium Studio?

Hope this makes sense, thanks for reading!
