No site access after upgrade to Win 10

    Here’s the history:
    – Bitnami WordPress stack / localhost install that was installed several years ago under WinXP… followed by upgrade to Win 7… then an upgrade to Win 10 about a week ago.

    Last night I tried to work on my site and when I clicked on my Firefox links to my site and phpMyAdmin… nothing… blank pages. (update… today I’m getting “unable to connect to the server at 127.0.0.1 errors)

    I’ve been searching the forum all day today for help and so far it looks like a problem with eiter Win 10 or the Bitnami stack or both. When I look in file explorer… all the Bitnami and WordPress files for my site are there.

    I’ve tried some of the “fixes” suggested in various posts and web sites… i.e. changing ports… uninstalling Skype (??)… stopping and restarting the server (and when I try this nothing happens)… using an admin command prompt to stop and restart W3SVC… etc etc. but so far nothing seems to help.

    It’s difficult to troubleshoot when you can’t get into the backend or php-admin.

    These are the URL’s for my localhost site. Site = https://127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-login.php?loggedout=true…….

    and php-admin = https://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php?token=9cbbc18e3a6e5276d35c623b267cb4cb&old_usr=(***username here***)

    If ANYONE has and ideas how I can get logged in I will be eternally grateful.

    Otherwise would it be wise to do another Bitnami/Wordpress install in a separate folder and copy over all the “content” files from the original install??

    Many thanks for any help!!

  • Try this … it’s what worked for me ??

    Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > scroll to the bottom and right click on World Wide Web Publishing Service > select Properties

    – click Stop
    – in Startup type: select Manual
    – click Apply and then OK

    Cheers!

    Thanks for the advice Lyle…

    As it turns out… the culprit was actually my “virtual private network” application. I’m embarrassed that it wasn’t the fist thing I checked. As soon as I exited the VPN program… my localhost install was back to normal…. once again able to login to site and phpMyAdmin.

    I’m not a superuser but I’m guessing the VPN takes the site through an IP address that is a dead-end because it interrupts the direct link between WordPress and the Apache server emulation in a localhost install.

    Thanks again!!
