WampServer

Hi,

I had two perfectly working sites hosted locally - one via WAMPServer and one using IIS. However, after changing out my router/modem, localhost refuses to connect (when using both localhost and local ip address). However, PHPmyadmin still works. At first I thought it was because the local IP address changed when my router/modem was swapped out, but I updated the local IP address and still get the same issue.

I know it is not a server issue, since both my servers are giving the same refuse to connect error and were working previously. If it helps, when I try to access any of my sites externally, I get an ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT response. Any ideas would be useful. You can see a picture of the error I am getting here (as you can see my WAMPServer is still green): [db.tt]

Please let me know if anyone has ever experienced the same or if more info is needed to diagnose.


Thanks,
John

Have you replaced the port forwarding in yout new router?

Check your ports.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your responses. Yes I changed my port forwarding on my router. I checked again and they are all open and pointing toward my correct local ip addresses. From my limited understanding, port forwarding on my router shouldn't affect localhost access. If that is true, and the error was my forwarding, then I would be able to access my site locally but not remotely, right?

One of the the servers is on port 80, the other on 8080. Both ports are open and listening on respective servers.

Thanks again for the help,
John

Then is could be your Firewall blocking access.

When you install and first use WAMPServer, Apache normally causes any firewall to ask the question "Is it OK to allow access on port xxxx" Did you answer yes to this question, or have you manually amended your firewall?
