WAMP - Connection to 127.0.0.1 Failed using Chrome but succeeds using IE


On a WAMP platform, trying to connect to localhost. At first I install WAMP and using Internet Explorer to open localhost. It worked fine. Then I try to open using Chrome. Message below appeared. Anyone?

Solution

  • In Chrome, go to Settings > Show advanced settings > Network > Change Proxy setting -> enable the checkbox for "Bypass proxy server for local address". To get to Chrome settings, click the three vertical dots to the extreme upper right of the Chrome browser window.

    Solution courtesy of: Localhost not working in chrome and firefox, which while not based on WAMP (but instead Visual Studio 2010), the underlying premise is the same.
