IF my understanding is correct, localhost doesn’t even use SSL (?), so even the “ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR” is confusing.Īnother suggestion that i’ve found is to disable your plugins folder by renaming it to essentially invalidate ALL plugins.
#MAMP LOCALHOST REFUSED TO CONNECT HOW TO#
If so, i don’t know how to correct that condition. I’ve searched this error and it seems it could be a few things, but a possible reason could be a ‘bad certificate’. I get the same messages in either Chrome or Safari. I literally have NO idea how to proceed in finding the problem. I’ve got (wp-debug) debugging set up and running on my site and there’s nothing in there at all. There is nothing in the Apache logs at all. I cannot find ANY information that will help me find a solution. “This site can’t provide a secure connection localhost sent an invalid response. Localhost access works just fine (as in ‘localhost:8888’), but when attempting to enter wp-admin, the page fails to be served up with the following messages: I popped my plugin into my plugins directory (as i will when i go into production) and suddenly, I am unable to access wp-admin to look at WordPress (as in ‘localhost:8888/wp-admin). `I’ve got a MAMP (version 6.3) localhost using Apache running on a Mac Mini locally and i am in final testing before publishing a new plugin that i’ve created. Somewhere in the process of fidgeting with it, suddenly my site didn’t work and i couldn’t get into the wp-admin facility. I’ve developed a custom plugin and was testing it to go live.

The site is not new, i’ve been developing/using it for weeks. I do not know if this is a WP-specific issue or not, but the problem is that i cannot access the WP admin dashboard of a site on my computer’s localhost.
