Hi Flywheel community, we’ve been getting the error above

“listen tcp4 127.0.0.1:49688: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.”

when attempting to open the Local by Flywheel application.

Has anyone seen this before and know how and why it happens - and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi,

could you fix this? I’m getting the same error. I’m suspecting that Docker for Windows (already uninstalled it) somehow messed up the network configuration. I have reset TCP/IP but without any success.
