📌 How to Fix Localhost Refused to Connect?
In this video, we’ll go through four methods to solve the localhost refused to connect error.
👉 Temporarily Disable Your Firewall
While it’s an important security system, sometimes a firewall may run inaccurately block safe web pages or incoming connections.
It’s best to temporarily disable the firewall when developing a website in your localhost, so it won’t flag the project as malicious and block it. Make sure to immediately re-enable it once the website goes live.
👉 Flush Your DNS
DNS cache that contains too many records might fail to function. Flush the DNS to erase the records and solve the localhost refused to connect error.
👉 Connect With the Specified Port
Port 80 is the default port number for the Apache web server, but sometimes it is used by another application on your computer. This makes you unable to run the server on the same port simultaneously.
Check whether port 80 is free using XAMPP, then connect with the correct port number using the listen command.
👉 Go Through the Browser Settings
Every web browser has a different setup and characteristics. Some browsers will automatically redirect you to a site’s HTTPS version, even when you enter an HTTP web address. But if that site has an invalid SSL certificate or doesn’t have any, “localhost refused to connect” will appear on the screen.
If you use Chrome, you can delete localhost’s domain security policies. This will enable connections to sites without an SSL certificate, like the one you’re currently developing.
There you go! Now you know how to fix the “localhost refused to connect” error.

@HostingerAcademy 4 месяца назад

Hi there! If you're receiving notifications about a password breach on a site you are not familiar with, it's essential to investigate further. Remember to keep your system, software, and antivirus tools up to date to enhance overall security 🙏

After all that the localhost:80 is working in my laptop now what should i do how can i login to my local wordpress?

@HostingerAcademy Год назад

Hello! You can try opening localhost:80/wp-admin or localhost/wp-admin on your browser. Providing the website is accessible via either localhost:80 or localhost, /wp-admin should open the login page 💯

Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. Apache/2.4.54 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1p PHP/8.1.10 Server at localhost Port 8080 how can solve this bro please suggest me anyone thankyou

@HostingerAcademy Год назад

The error message you received indicates that you don't have permission to access a specific resource on a server running Apache. Here are a few suggestions you can try to resolve the issue: ※ Check your URL: Make sure you have entered the correct URL in your browser's address bar. Double-check for any typos or errors in the URL. ※ Clear browser cache: Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try accessing the resource again. Sometimes cached data can cause conflicts or outdated information. ※ Check server configuration: If you're trying to access a resource on your local machine (localhost), verify that the server configuration is correct. Ensure that the server is running, the necessary ports are open, and any required permissions are set correctly. If you're running Apache on XAMPP, make sure that XAMPP is running on the background and Apache is also running. ※ Contact the server administrator: If you're accessing a resource on a remote server, it's possible that you don't have the necessary permissions to access it. Reach out to the server administrator or the website owner and explain the issue you're facing. They may be able to assist you further. ※ Try a different browser or device: If the issue persists, try accessing the resource using a different browser or device. This can help determine if the problem is specific to your current setup. Hope this helps!

''localhost is not supported '' not resolved please help me out with this

@HostingerAcademy Год назад

Hey Rohit! Here are a few possible solutions to this issue: 1. Use the IP address instead of "localhost." Instead of using "localhost" as the hostname, try using the IP address of your local machine. To find your IP address, you can open a command prompt or terminal window and type "ipconfig" (Windows) or "ifconfig" (Linux or macOS). Look for the IP address listed next to "IPv4 Address" or "inet". 2. Check the configuration of the application. If you're still seeing the "localhost is not supported" error, check the configuration of the application you're trying to access. It's possible that the application is configured to only accept requests from specific IP addresses or hostnames. 3. Update your hosts file. Another solution is to update your computer's hosts file to map "localhost" to your IP address. This will tell your computer to use your IP address when you access "localhost". We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please write them here or send us an email at support@hostinger.com 🙏🏻

How can I configure firefox

@HostingerAcademy Год назад

Hey there, Sreeparna! Take a look at Firefox options, preferences and settings as a reference to configure your Firefox browser: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-options-preferences-and-settings. If your Firefox browser refused to connect to localhost, you may need to review your local server settings. We got your back: www.hostinger.com/tutorials/localhost-refused-to-connect-error 😊

i needed to uninstall skype and discord for it to work if more people looking for a solution

@ahek_mt Год назад

2:00 If you're using python like me and had this thing, you can simply use this code to check if the port is already in use instead of downloading some thing: import socket HOST = "localhost" PORT = 8080 # Creates a new socket sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) # Try to connect to the given host and port if sock.connect_ex((HOST, PORT)) == 0: print("Port " + str(PORT) + " is in use") # Connected successfully else: print("Port " + str(PORT) + " is not in use") # Failed to connect because port is in use (or bad host) # Close the connection sock.close()

@HostingerAcademy Год назад

Hello, Yasir! If localhost is not working, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check server and software: Ensure that your local server (such as Apache or Nginx) and relevant software (such as PHP or MySQL) are running properly. Restarting the server or software may help resolve any temporary issues. 2. Verify port availability: Make sure the port you are using for localhost (typically port 80 for HTTP or port 443 for HTTPS) is not being used by any other application. If there is a conflict, you can either change the port number or identify the conflicting application and stop it. 3. Clear cache and cookies: Sometimes, browser cache and cookies can cause issues with accessing localhost. Clear your browser cache and cookies, or try accessing localhost using a different browser to rule out any caching-related problems. 4. Check host file configuration: Verify that your host file (located at "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" on Windows or "/etc/hosts" on macOS/Linux) has the correct mapping for localhost. The entry should typically be "127.0.0.1 localhost" or "::1 localhost". 5. Restart your computer: A simple restart of your computer can often resolve issues with localhost, as it helps reset network connections and refresh system settings. 6. Firewall and antivirus settings: Check if your firewall or antivirus software is blocking the localhost connection. Temporarily disable them or add an exception for your local server software to allow connections. 7. Reinstall local server software: If all else fails, you can try reinstalling the local server software you are using (e.g., XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP) to ensure a clean installation. Follow the installation instructions carefully and make sure to configure the server correctly. If you continue to experience issues with localhost, it can be helpful to search online forums or seek assistance from developer communities specific to the local server software you are using. They may provide more tailored guidance based on the specific error messages or symptoms you are encountering. Hope this helps! 🚀
