Why my local host is not working?

What is error 127.0 0.1 refused to connect?

Your client and server are running on different devices. Your client is trying to connect to the local loopback IP 127.0. 0.1 , which will work only if the server is running on the same device as the client. That is why you are getting "connection refused" - there is no server listening locally at 127.0.

Making it simple, localhost as a web address connects to your local machine, where in this case you have Apache installed as web server. The second part, :8080, means connect to port 8080 of that web address. If you don't specify it, your web browser will connect to the default webserver port, which is port 80.

Hence, the address for localhost has to be looked up or resolved, whereas using 127.0. 0.1 goes directly to that IP address. Another significant difference between localhost and 127.0. 0.1 is how the request is sent.

How do I activate localhost 127.0 0.1 on my PC?
