This is a side note if one still can't access localhost from another devices after following through the step above. This might be due to the apache ports.conf has been configured to serve locally (127.0.0.1) and not to outside.

check the following, (for ubuntu apache2)

  $ cat /etc/apache2/ports.conf

NameVirtualHost *:80  
Listen 80
