Hi there!
I’ve developed all my website thanks to your plugin but, in the last time, I have had some problems: at first, my local installation was completely disappeared, due to safety issue with the certificate that was self-signed. After some days, I’ve uninstalled desktop server and re-installed and it started again to work, but now it shows only my homepage. When I click on the other pages or internal links it shows a 403 error. How can I solve? I’ll be grateful if you help me, I find your plugin really useful and well-done, so, please!
Thanks,
Paola
I was happily using Desktop server on my PC right up to this afternoon. Suddenly none of my local sites open. The same message appears, which is:
“This site can’t be reached
The connection was reset.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_RESET”
I have tried updating serverpress to the latest version which is 3.8.3, but even after the update still no joy. What gives? Help!

I’m using MacBooksPro with MAC and Windows 10 via Parallels Desktop (virtual machine).
I do have Apache installed on MAC and it’s working well and I created websites using PHP (without WordPress) and uploaded it on web and it was working with no problem.
Now, I installed the latest DesktopServer on Win 10 and created https://www.example.dev site but I’m getting the error message as below when I’m clicking on a link on DesktopServer to open the install.php.
—————
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/install.php on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.4.12 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1l PHP/5.5.24 Server at https://www.example.dev Port 80
———————-
I did stop “World Wide Web Publishing Service”. I did stop SSRS before the DesktopServer installation as it used port 80 and it wasn’t allow to install DesktopServer.
The netstat shows that port 80 used by PID 2552 only that is httpd.exe
netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0.0.0:80 shows
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2552
I did change httpd.config to use port 8080 and changing the first <Directory> option into
<Directory “C:/Websites/”>
#Options Indexes MultiViews
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
I did restart the DesktopServer but the localhost is still on port 80 and it didn’t help to open the install.php or https://www.example.dev anyway.
I could see from the Internet that it could be a very common problem as many people asking about the same error. The answered posts didn’t help me. There are also many with no-reply similar questions.
While I wouldn’t like to disable everything on my computer please advise what else I could do to make it work. Or I could try to install Apache and then to download WordPress giving up on DesktopServer.
Thanks
]]>Are there any plans to update the plugin, or test it for compatibility to WordPress 4.5? I really like using the app, and the ease of upload with the plugin, but am nervous about using it without the assurance compatibility, especially as WordPress continues to evolve.
]]>Hey Steve
Can you add some screenshots to show some of the uI of the plugin?
Thanks.
]]>Anyone tried using this with WordPress 4.1.1? About to design a few sites in DesktopServer and was wondering what the latest version of WP that I can use is… looks like 3.5.2 but wondering if anyone has had success with any more recent versions of WordPress.
Thanks
]]>Hi, Everyone.
I have found DesktopServer very simple, easy and straightforward to use. It made it very easy for me to develop my site on my own computer and it made think about the possibility of hosting the site also. I have my own server and have paid a third party hosting service to host my WordPress site. Given the simplicity of using DesktopServer I started to think about the possibility of hosting it instead.
Question:
Can one use DesktopServer to host WordPress sites ? In case it can’t be done, is there a solution as simple as DesktopServer to install the necessary software on a server (I have a Mac server running Mac OS X 10.6) so that it can be used to host WordPress sites ?
Thank you in advance,
Joe.
]]>Hi, everyone.
I am nearly finished with my site. It was developed on my computer with DesktopServer for WordPress using the extension .dev instead of the extension .com as is my domain name.
What do I need to do now in order to send the files to the server using FTP ? How do I prepare my files and change the extension .dev to .com so that the site can work properly on the server ?
Thank you in advance,
Joe.
