The connection was refused when attempting to connect to localhost
Does anyone have any idea why I should get the above message in Mozilla 0.9.8 when trying to access the local instance of Apache? It works OK if I use the PC's IP address, and both IP address and localhost work OK in Konqueror. Thanks Kevin

Yes, this is what is perplexing. What is Moz not seeing that Konq can?
FWIW, I have Mozilla going and http://localhost works fine. Maybe it has something to do with KDE. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

Maybe Moz doesn't like IPv6? Remove localhost from this line in /etc/hosts ::1 ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback I think that can help. /Stefan

Brilliant, Stefan! Where should I go to read up on this sort of thing (ie how did you find out about it?)? I can now go to bed happy that a niggling, though non-essential, query has been resolved. You have done your good deed for the day - thanks! Kevin

Actually I think one of these lists answered the same question for a Netscape 4.X user about a year ago, so I can not take all the credit for this one ;-). It was a wild guess it would also work for Mozilla... /Stefan

When using a laptop away from a network I can only connect to localhost if I put a net card in the slot -- no idea why -- but just might be elevant Cheers Francesco
