How to Fix Localhost Refused to Connect

[@antrahagure5372]

From all the options-changing Listen Port 8080 worked! Thank you so much! Now when I type localhost:8080 xampp dashboard page shows up -just like before when i had localhost 300.

[@yasirmandokhail9906]

How brother how did you do that plzz also solve my problem too 😔😔

[@shantetorres718]

That xampp download was clutch! Port 80 wasn't being used but I changed it anyway and now I am connected! Thank you, I definitely liked and subscribed!

[@HostingerAcademy]

So glad it helped! And thank you for your support 💜

[@exoltairior]

My bittorrent client was using the same port I was trying to host a SQL server on! Thanks!

[@pon0459]

Thank you so much! I was searching this solution for a long time. Great video !

[@ahek_mt]

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()

[@ahek_mt]

None of the solutions worked for me though. None of these things was wrong with my pc :(

Hiya bud I had an advertising pop up on my desktop the other day I then went on to Google's privacy and security options and done a safety check the results showed I had a password breach on a site called Localhost but I don't have a password on this site I don't even know what it is. is this anything to worry about

[@HostingerAcademy]

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 🙏

am i trying to connect nextjs to flask. the input from nexts has to go to flask n then get embedded but i keep getting this error- localhost:5001/:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

[@HostingerAcademy]

Hey there 👋 The error you're encountering, "ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT," typically occurs due to a browser extension or ad blocker interfering with your connection. Try disabling any extensions or ad blockers and see if that resolves the issue.

[@dannylindsey414]

Thanks, my problem was a self restarting Windows Firewall. Once disabled and a restart back to normal.

Glad you found this video helpful! 💜

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]

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 💯

[@nnamdichristian798]

Nice video . Please, what is the solution when all the information I entered into the localhost page I created is not showing on mysql in Xampp. Once I entered the information and click on submit , I don't receive any successful or error message and the information does not reflect in mysql.

[@HelloWorld-fh2ge]

Thank you my problem was about ip and port number from my server !

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]

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]

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 [e-mail] 🙏🏻

How can I configure firefox

[@HostingerAcademy]

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 😊

[@HostingerAcademy]

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! 🚀
