can’t browse WordPress on local host or local network / but outside is fine
-
so as the title reads, I can’t browse the WordPress site using https://localhost on the Ubnutu server or anywhere on my local network LAN // but outside works fine, what should I look into ?
thanks!

I am using Apache on my own Ubnutu server… I can’t access on the localhost (the server) using http or https:// which is setup for localhost or 10.0.0.87.. but I just checked and I am able to access https or https://10.0.0.87 on my LAN computer (not the server) – just for whatever reason not on my server its self.. I have my real IP address setup not the one above and pointing DNS to it and I have port fordwarding setup for 80 and 443 at the ISP to the real IP / like I said the external works… when I am on my cell phone or at work…
My firewall is disabled…
my /etc/hosts is…
GNU nano 7.2 hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 raymond-PowerEdge-R310# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allroutershope this helps…
also here is my wp-config.php file / I recently restored from godaddy to my own server, so I am not quite sure what of these are old godaddy settings I don’t need anymore…

require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');ok / I did these two and now I can access on the local host / not sure of which of these two worked… but I can access the site now normally on the server it’s self local host…
but if I try to access it on my other computer on my local LAN, it don’t work, if I type kodiakbrewing.com on my laptop which is connected to the same exact network at the server (internally), it don’t work… and if I do https://10.0.0.87 it sometimes works, but its very slow to load anything, takes forever and then I think, the REWRITE engine kicks in and tried to forward it all to kodiakbrewing.com, so nothing works / but at least on the local-server it works now, which is good, but not on my other laptop, not sure…
also, I am pretty sure my SSL is setup correctly, I did the CertBot and it tested all fine and it works wonders and I even have a Cron line added to renew it every 90 days for free – I wasn’t going to pay godaddy some ridiculous $150 a year for a SSL key, because they don’t want to support open standard as it is not profitable for them.
