AMPPS for Mac, local vhosts now no longer working

AMPPS 3.9 64-bit for Mac is working fine on MacOS 10.15.2.

I created some .local vhosts in /Applications/Ampps/Apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, and added the domains to /etc/hosts.

All was running well, I had about 5 different .local vhosts up and running fine.

On 1 .local website, after running WP Migrate DB Pro pulling a remote db down into the local site, every .local vhost has failed to load, producing ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.

Restarting Apache has not resolved the issue.

I've double checked /etc/hosts/ & httpd-vhosts.conf and they both look fine.

I've tried Restore Config in the AMPPS control panel with no success. Rebooted with no success.

http://localhost/phpmyadmin opens fine.

Help and troubleshooting advice appreciated.

Solution

  • I found the local IP address had changed somehow, after running WP Migrate DB Pro.

    Updating the hosts file with the new IP address has fixed the problem.
