Have tried switching from nginx to apache, same problem. Also tried stopping/starting all sites, deleting them, reseting virtual machine, nothing works.
Hi there, @clay
I have exactly the same trouble.
Running Local 1.4.2 on Mac OS X.11.6
any connection to added site are refused : whatever the name is something.dev or something.local
I tried to remove everything and reinstall Local by flywheel but still same trouble.
Have you any hint to get it running ?
Thanks Alain, I did find that, but from Clay’s remark (I mentioned above), it implied you could start the server for just one domain - but perhaps not!
Cheers, Dave
in fact Dave, when you restart the local machine, all site should be stopped.
so @clay is asking to start your website (the icon at the left of its name) before trying to get access to it.
I Dave
How is it going after restarting the local machine and starting the site ?
Is it working now ?
I guess that @clay is awaiting your result (and I still look for a way to be able to run local by flywheel - I have the same problem as you)
Cheers
Hi Clay,
Can you please help us as we still have the trouble.
Even after restarting the local machine and starting the site and even after reinstalling completely the software.
I detected that the path of the User folder is of consequence pour LbF. First it was on my data partition and LBF not in the application folder - in that case, creating a site was taking time indefinitely.
Currently, I moved LBF on the MAC application folder and defined the website folder in the same disk partition - but still impossible to get access to the site using Safari (even if I can ping the domain). I even changed the .dev to .local for the website without any improvement.
“Ping alain.local” is OK and 192.168.80.100 is answering
"telnet alain.local 80" reports the following
"Trying 192.168.80.100…
telnet: connect to address 192.168.80.100: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host"
May be it will help you ?
I am really interested to get it running on my mac
Please can you help us ?
Thanks
Alain
I do have some VPN configuration but not running at the time of the tests and no proxy configuration.
I did some more tests and installed local by flywheel into a virtual Windows machine. From Safari on my Mac and I have access to the website running into the Windows machine by using the ngrok URL.
I really don’t understand why lbf isn’t able to run on my Mac. It takes a lot of ressources to run it on a virtual computer.
No app of that kind.
But I can tell you that my host isn’t empty and do contains many domain name associated to localhost (to prevent one of my app to communicate to these domains.
I also got this issue by setting up a proxy server with browserSync. All my browsers were displaying ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED whenever I attempt to connect to my local “***.dev” instance.
I tried:
(1) Restarting the PC;
(2) Restarting the Local Machine;
(3) Removing the Local By Flywheel HOSTS entry on C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts;
(4) Powered off and turned the VirtualBox machine “local-by-flywheel” back on;
(5) Disabling browserSync;
But none of these procedures solved the connection issue. That was until I saw @clay post:
Hi Alain,
Are you running a VPN or proxy of some sort? Sometimes this can cause issues with the Docker Machines network devices.
Because of this post, I immediately remembered that I had the option “Enable Faster Docker Volumes” enabled on my Windows machine. So I turned it off and I also restarted my Local Machine, and voilà I had my Local server working back again, and I was also able to proxy my Local instance using browserSync afterwards.
