.dev domains are not working in OS 10.9 Mavericks dev preview GM

[glebe]

All my .dev domains are not working now, however localhost:20559 says "pow is installed".

myapp.dev symlink is created in ~/.pow

Here is the config:
$ ./pow --print-config
POW_BIN='/Users/gleb/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.1/bin/pow'
POW_DST_PORT='80'
POW_HTTP_PORT='20559'
POW_DNS_PORT='20560'
POW_TIMEOUT='900'
POW_WORKERS='2'
POW_DOMAINS='dev'
POW_EXT_DOMAINS=''
POW_HOST_ROOT='/Users/gleb/Library/Application Support/Pow/Hosts'
POW_LOG_ROOT='/Users/gleb/Library/Logs/Pow'
POW_RVM_PATH='/Users/gleb/.rvm/scripts/rvm'

Here's my traceback of a request route

Tried reinstalling, it does not help and fails on the step where checking of dev domains goes.

Can anyone help or give some fresh ideas on what could cause that?

Problem solved!

Apparently fw was disabled and I had to set

sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.enable=1
to enable port forwarding

Don't know if that's an issue with developer preview or some other software but this should be kept in mind while setting up pow.

This is already part of the cx.pow.firewall.plist template. Should have been installed like that.

sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.enable=1

helped me to get pow working on mavericks.

I tried reinstalling but got following message :

*** Reloading system network configuration...
!!! Couldn't resolve configured domains (dev)

For troubleshooting instructions, please see the Pow wiki:
https://github.com/37signals/pow/wiki/Troubleshooting

since the sysctl it works fine.
Thanks

Except you have to run the command after every reboot

[RLovelett]

sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.enable=1 worked for me too

The sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.enable=1 worked for me.

Basically you need to create a launchd task that runs this every boot. Not ideal, but it works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

---

Nevermind, the default launchd task created by the installer is supposed to do this, but doesn't do it properly (relative path to su). See my pull request

@paradox460, another permanent solution is to add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf so that fw enables on boot.

[paradox460]

Unfortunately, OS X has a history of ignoring and overwriting that file.
There are several StackOverflow questions about that. I tried it and found
it to be non permanent.

I'm mobile right now, so I can't link to the individual questions, but if
you want to see them I'll put them in a follow up comment

[gtmtech]

Do you have an /etc/resolver/dev file ?

[glebe]

@gtmtech yes i have it, the problem is not in resolver but in firewall blocked by default with the update

[gtmtech]

Fair enough, just thought I'd post that the contents of this file is why OSX resolves .dev domains differently to everything else - removing this fixed most of my issues with all .dev problems everywhere, might be useful to people on this thread, but not sure!
