How to resolve [LiveView] File Server unavailable. Host Unreachable on OSX

Appcelerator LiveView is not connecting to the emulator/device on a new development laptop. The connection error occurs when tested with 2 different WiFi networks.

The question is, how can I resolve/debug the [LiveView] File Server unavailable error message?

"[LiveView] File Server unavailable. Host Unreachable @ 192.168.0.7:8324"

"[LiveView] File Server unavailable. Host Unreachable @ 127.0.0.1:8324"

I have tried the following:

The only thing that seems suspicious is...

When requesting the IP:8324 from Safari on emulator I receive a quick JSON response. When requesting the IP:8323 from Safari on emulator I receive no reply in Safari but see [LiveView] Client connected in the Appcelerator console.

My Environment is:

Console display when running app"

[LiveView] version 1.2.1

[LiveView] Event Server Started on 0.0.0.0:8323

RESOLVED

This issue has been resolved.

After setting up a new macbook I had imported Kitchen Sink v2 sample app from the appcelerator GIT repo to get up and running. Liveview never worked but running without Liveview worked fine.

This morning I suspected the problem may be a Node installation / permissions issue and I tried making the /usr/local directory writable by all.

Still no luck and yes I did..clean the project, restart appcelerator, killall, etc.

Finally I just simply created a new alloy project and LiveView works just fine on new projects.

Must be a fluke I thought so I went back to Kitchen-v2 project...cleaned the project...compiled and ran with LiveView - Still Not Working.

The issue appears to be (in my case) the Kitchen Sink v2 sample app.
