I'm trying to connect WordPress instance on google cloud with the custom domain but I'm having this error
This site can’t be reachedquotivy.com refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
What I found it wired is that the domain is working on Tor browser and not working on Chrome and Safari, and I tried to take an online screenshot from it and it's working & I ping the domain and seems working too! not so sure what to debug or do to fix this bug!
This is a sample URL: https://quotivy.com/rumi/when-the-world-pushes-you-to-your-knees/
How it looks like on my browsers:
Custome DNS on my google cloud
If you have moved the site recently then check in your database (either domain.com/phpmyadmin or SSH if Cloud SQL) for references to the old domain and update to the new domain. This includes moving from http to https
In GCP Compute Engine VM Instance settings, make sure to allow http and allow https traffic. You may want to assign a static IP in GCP Console > VPC Network > External IP addresses
Lastly you may need to update etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf to make sure your servername matches your WordPress domain name

I'm migrating a bitnami wordpress site from AWS lightsail to GCP.
The AWS's setup includes a purchased wildcard SSL. When I set up the loadbalancer in GCP, I opt for Google's SSL instead.
I got this error Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP when I access from the loadbalancer's IP. The VM is working fine and I am able to access it with it's own external IP.
The domain is still pointing to AWS's server. I wonder if the error is because I have not pointed the domain to the load balancer's IP?
I'm hoping to gain some clarity first before I update the domain's IP. I want to avoid situation where it does not work after I make the switch.
Thanks
Forgive me here, I am largely post-technical for 10+ years and taken this as far as I can. I can probably take any advice and run with it, but may ask for some specifics to help if troubleshooting tools or commands are required. So please forgive that too.
Background:
Yesterday we could hit site URL after restarting VM hosted on Google Cloud. Sometime overnight, the URL was inaccessible.
Message:
This site can’t be reached <URL> refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Troubleshooting:
can load using IP.
The technical guys (3rd party suppliers) insist they have not made any changes. My team have not made any changes.
The domain is still valid (it renews tomorrow)
The domain is used for the DEV environment with DEV as a prefix hosted on another VM.
Looking at firewall rules, all the rules with the proper tags appear to be set up correctly for HTTPS with appropriate IP (0.0.0.0) and port 80.
Many thanks in advance for your help. When I find the answer, I will post it here.
RESOLVED:
ROOT CAUSE:
During setup on GCP, the team forgot to link the reserved external IP address to the VM. As such, the external IP address was ephemeral so after a reboot of the server, Google issued a new external IP for the VM.
SOLUTION:
Reserve a static external IP Address and link it to the VM or promote an existing ephemeral external IP Address.

I want to use Charles Proxy to share a local development PC's web server where I am developing sites on so that I can access the PC over my LAN to test on various mobile devices.
Having setup the correct ip address of my PC in the http proxy settings on various tablets they can all connect to the PC and this works fine.
The issue is that I need to test a wordpress site and as anyone that uses wordpress knows, it generates full url links between each page it serves. As the site normally runs on my PC the urls it generates are all http://localhost/wordpress/pagename.
So the issue is that if I access the same site from a remote device via the proxy (addressing http://192.168.1.200/wordpress/) it instantly redirects me to http://localhost/wordpress/pagename url in the mobile device and this fails to load as the tablet can't determine "localhost" correctly.
There must be a way of using one of Charles' various options to resolve this but I can't for the life of me work out which. I've tried remote maps and DNS spoofing but no joy.
Note, I'm completely aware that you can with SQL commands change the urls throughout a wordpress database but I just wanted to see if this was possible without undertaking this step as it would be a lot more flexible if I don't have to do that each time I want to preview sites via my other local LAN devics.
You can use Charles proxy feature called Rewrite Tool. I assume your local network uses 192.168.168.X IPs.
Enable rewrite
Add new rule and name it as you wish
To Locations section add Protocol: http and Host: 192.168.168.X
To Rules section add Type: body, Where: response, Match: localhost, Replace: 192.168.168.X
It may require some more tinkering but i hope you get the idea
I'm working on a project that uses the Google Maps JavaScript API v3 to render directions on an integrated map.
The website it built with Jekyll and I run the server using the following command:
jekyll serve --host 192.168.2.7
The given IP address is the IP Address of the system running the server.
The reason I made it listen to that IP Address is because I want to test the application on my mobile devices, following this answer
In the API Console I whitelisted 192.168.*, so that any local connection can use the API.
However, when I go to that IP Address on my phone or computer, the API says the application is not authorized despite me having whitelisted it.
What am I doing wrong here and how can I solve it?
Jekyll serve
The --hostname flag doesn't exist. Use --host 192.168.2.7 or host: 192.168.2.7 in _config.yml. Target address will then be 192.168.2.7:4000 as 4000 is the default listening port for Jekyll webrick server.
Google API withelist
It's not necessary to white list domain, as with no domain white listed you have Any referer allowed
Google authorization
Verify that you've set your API key to something else than https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=API_KEY you are supposed to have something like this : https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSytitittototoX7RhHn-drLRRYututu7eX2hVo
If you still have problems, you can give a repository url to have it fixed quicker.
Happy Jekyll !
192.168.2.7 is a private IP address and is not publicly accessible. To use that you will probably need to get a license.
On Friday I hosted a WordPress site on my micro instance - I installed LAMP stack, and WordPress on it.
Instance state is Running, but when I try to access website with public domain given in console, it says
web page Not available
I have set an Outbound rule to allow everyone and Inbound rule for my IP address only.
This is about accessing website from outside world, but when I try to connect to my instance with JAVA Interface, MindTerm Web SSH, it says
Network connection timeout error
Can't figure out anything, Just started working on AWS.
I think you have confused the Outbound and Inbound rules - Outbound means traffic going out from the server, while Inbound means traffic from the internet to the server.
As you say, you added an Inbound rule for your IP address only, and you can access the website from you IP only, just like you requested.
Add an Inbound rule for port 80 for0.0.0.0/0, and you should be able to access the site from other locations as well.
If you need to open it to HTTP and SSH, open it for both for 0.0.0.0/0:
Please verify your settings and permission based on this :

You might also want to check your firewall, in case that is blocking the access..
