Local server can't be seen on Android or iOS, but can on any Linux device

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

Yeah same netmask of 255.255.255.0

Then there has to be a firewall, web server whitelist or some kind of configuration issue with the service being hosted. Because according to all your responses they are on the same WiFi with the same subnet/gateway/netmask.
