where to set header for access control origin in apache - apache

Question

Have added/set the header for access control in .htaccess file of the directory where the web application is present (drupal) . but when making a ajax request for it with jquery, the console error gives following message:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost/drupal/get/news.
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
Origin 'http://127.0.0.1:56687' is therefore not allowed access.
the .htaccess is insider the folder "drupal" and the header is set at the following:
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
# Serve gzip compressed CSS files if they exist and the client accepts gzip.
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.gz -s
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.css $1\.css\.gz [QSA]
# Serve gzip compressed JS files if they exist and the client accepts gzip.
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.gz -s
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.js $1\.js\.gz [QSA]
# Serve correct content types, and prevent mod_deflate double gzip.
RewriteRule \.css\.gz$ - [T=text/css,E=no-gzip:1]
RewriteRule \.js\.gz$ - [T=text/javascript,E=no-gzip:1]
<FilesMatch "(\.js\.gz|\.css\.gz)$">
# Serve correct encoding type.
Header set Content-Encoding gzip
# Force proxies to cache gzipped & non-gzipped css/js files separately.
Header append Vary Accept-Encoding
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
Any help will be appreciated.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost/drupal/get/news.
The above means that in your Drupal CMS, you have references pointing to your localhost. My guess is that you constructed your site locally, and then migrated to a live server, but in doing so, some of the references are not yet changed. I would recommend you to replace all http://localhost instances in your .sql file with http://yourdomain.com since the files are meant to be publicly available and no one else can access your localhost resources from outside network.
