If you're unable to access the web server via localhost, there's a chance that your firewall may be blocking the connection. You can often resolve this problem by modifying your firewall settings to allow incoming connections for the port that MAMP is trying to access.
How do you fix localhost refused to connect?
Typically this involves the following steps:
- Check to see whether the page itself has gone down.
- Restart your router.
- Clear your browser's cache.
- Assess your proxy settings and adjust them as needed.
- Temporarily disable antivirus and firewall software.
- Flush your DNS cache.
- Change your DNS address.
Why do I keep getting refused to connect?
Connection refused means that the port you are trying to connect to is not actually open. So either you are connecting to the wrong IP address, or to the wrong port, or the server is listening on the wrong port, or is not actually running.
