Local server can't be seen on Android or iOS, but can on any Linux device (reddthat.com)

So I have a small local server running a website. It's not public facing at all, has a static IP address on my WiFi LAN and can be accessed by any Linux machine. I can't see it on any iPhone or Android device though

I've looked up tutorials on line, ensured my firewalls allow local sharing on the WiFi, double checked I can even ping the server successfully with nmap on Android

Any tips?

::edit:: typo in post, not when searching for IP on LAN

network interface - check
dns - not applicable
firewall - check
ping - check
navigating to the web site - fail

There are two causes here. Either server fucks it self over or the client fucks itself over. For server check logs, for client: check spelling, specify full protocol and try different browser to pinpoint the problem. It would be great to see the full ip address output from 'ip -c a' on both client and server.
