No idea what’s happened here – I’ve been using Webmatrix to build a wordpress site – everything has been going nicely. Powered off the machine last night, now today am unable to run the site.
Firefox gives me this error –
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:portnumber.
I’ve tried running other sites from Webmatrix, no joy. Uninstalled xampp. Windows firewall is off, Norton firewall has the appropriate exceptions.
Where has localhost gone? Anyone?
EDIT: reinstalled Webmatrix, no change. Reinstalling MySQL atm, will see if that helps.
EDIT: nup. Clean install of Webmatrix, MySQL and wordpress makes no difference.
All seems to be working again – rebooted, swore a little, had a coffee and boom, back in business. I think it was the swearing that helped.
Thanks for the suggestions
