I'm using the latest version of everything, but I am
beginning to
think its a setup issue with my version of OSX. I just
noticed I cant
seem to access the in-built apache server using my IP
either... I will
give it all a go on my windows box this week some time, but
thanks for
help Arnar and Christian!

I found that you need to set the ip address of the machine
in the 
configuration. Unlike 2.1, where  you could set 127.0.0.1 as
the ip 
address in CP and you could access it externally using the
machine's ip 
address, in 3.0.2 you need to set the ip address of the
machine in the 
global configuration. This opens up CP to external access
(don't ask me 
why, but at a guess it's security related).

ip_address = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
global_conf = {'server.socket_host' : ip_address}
...etc
