I am using MAMP as my local host and PHP 7.3.8 as my localhost.
On my site I am trying to connect to google maps as follows:
$url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=$postcode1&destinations=$postcode2&mode=driving&language=en-EN&sensor=false&key=MY-API-KEY"
$data = #file_get_content($url)
However for some reason the connection is not established
when I try this on a live site (using GoDaddy as a server) all is well and I get the wanted result.
I have tried to switch on allow_url_fopenin the php.ini and have checked the firewall on my localhost and made sure the ports are open, however no joy.
Anyhelp to solve this problem welcome

So I am currently working on a project where I use the Instagram API to get some user Data onto my Localhost webpage on the Raspberry. The API however needs secure redirect uri (https). But when the API wants do redirect to https://localhost/instagram it says
"404 Not Found The requested URL /instagram was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.25 (Raspbian) Server at localhost Port 443"
In the url-bar it says "Not secure", the https part is marked red and is crossed out. When I test my stuff on another computer which has Xampp and Apache running everything works fine and even if I type https://localhost it redirects straight to localhost.
I found out that I might need a SSL certificate in order to make use of https links even if I'm running on localhost. But I don't really know how I should do this on my raspberryPi. There are already some SSL modules enabled inside the Apache2 folder.
Im new to setting up apache - the site works fine on localhost but when I access it from the LAN it does now display the index.html file - instead the browser says:
This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connect.
Ive tried editing the apache2.conf file but nothing seems to work
I think you made another mistake. When you are on a different Computer on you network, the Apache server is not available on http://localhost/ but on the domain name or IP of the Apache Server.
The browser tries to open a connection to your client computer. But its not on localhost.
SSH files (https://) not working in ipv6 enabled droplet.
We using Comodo PositiveSSL files. Once we remove the ssl files it's works fine with http://
Error that shows in website is,
This site can’t be reached www.website.com refused to connect.
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated and DO community support not able to cover this much technical info so please I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks!
I think the problem is not with your SSL , the port on which your site is running on HTTPS is not opened on the network , and may be that's causing the issue . Try the same website on HTTPS from a normal internet connection (That means outside your work network, if you are inside a one ) and if it works ,then you need to open the port on which your site is running on HTTPS . Or if you are sure that your port is accessible, then try to clear browser cache and retry . Let me know if that helps :)
I had to recently wipe my PC and I'm setting up my development environment again using WAMP.
After installing WAMP, if I visit http://localhost instead of seeing the WAMP homepage I get redirected to http://x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is my IP.
I had this issue on another PC and after setting the inbound rules for Apache HTTP Server in my Windows Firewall settings to allow all domains it fixed the issue. I applied this to my PC, and the issue does not seem to be present for Internet Explorer, whereas for Chrome and Firefox the localhost to my IP redirect issue persists even after clearing the cache for each browser.
My C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
and my firewall rules look like this:
I am not currently using vhosts and I'm on a network at my workplace (if that has any implications?)
I also encountered the same issue when using Laragon which uses vhosts and whenever I visited a virtual host, e.g. mysite.dev it didn't work properly either.
My question on the Laragon forum: https://forum.laragon.org/topic/126/accessing-mysite-dev-redirects-to-url-which-shows-index-php-at-root-folder/3
The Problem
I'm behind a proxy which is used for browsing the web at my workplace. The proxy seemed to be messing up the dns resolution whenever I made a call to localhost (when using wamp) or one of my vhosts (when using Laragon).
This was clear as when I ran the following from the command line: ping site.dev I was getting the expected response from 127.0.0.1. However, when going to site.dev in my browser I was getting redirected to my IP, so essentially my etc/hosts file was being ignored for dns resolution.
The difference between the two being that the browser is using the proxy whereas the command line isn't!
The Solution
After trying many different solutions which seemed to work for localhost (on wamp) only, but not vhosts (on Laragon) I finally got to the solution which was actually so simple!
So, for chrome I simply went to chrome://settings/ > Network - Change proxy settings > LAN Settings > Proxy Server - Advanced
Then in the Exceptions text box I added the following:
*.dev;localhost;127.0.0.1
Here's a screenshot of my settings from Chrome/Internet Options
And that did the trick! Hope this can help someone else.
I have MAMP PRO running locally on my machine (Mavericks). I can connect find to localhost and apache is running on port 80.
The test website I have set up is served. I can browse to it via http:// my-local-host (have to put a dash in because stack exchange doesn't like URLs) or http://mymachinename.local or http://XXX.XXX.X.XX (my ipaddress).
It's not working remotely though from either iPhone or iPad. I have tried turning off the firewall. I have tried adding a rule to the firewall to allow incoming connections to httpd. Neither work.
I also have Little Snitch installed. I tried turning off Little snitch and also creating a rule to allow traffic through to port 80 via httpd. Neither work.
Anyone else had similar issues and found a resolution?
The problem is DNS.
MAMP writes your Hosts to /etc/hosts.
Example:
127.0.0.1 example.com
Your Iphone's host file has no such entry. This is why it does not work.
You need e.g. a "DNS-server", which you can enter in
Settings - Wlan - static as Router on your phone.
I think your problem would be addressed if you use the Dynamic DNS option in MAMP PRO. Then, using a third party company like noIP.com, you could setup myTestBox.ddns.net and pull up your website on your iPad.
