While our hosted websites work fine, I've had trouble with the "Available updates" page in Drupal when on a local PC under a WAMP environment. No modules show. If I use "Check manually", I get the following error:
Unable to fetch any information about available new releases and updates.
I'm able to browse drupal.org from the same PC. The PC is on a network proxy server.
Any ideas on how to get this working so that we can test new/updated modules locally on the network PC? I'm not quite sure if it's the network proxy, Drupal install, WAMP environment, or some other firewall issue.
Thanks.
I had the same problem when testing under WAMP,I found that it was a problem with our network proxy (which required authentication). As Drupal was making the update request 'in the background' the authentication wasn't being fulfilled and the proxy was denying access. In the end we had to reconfigure the network proxy

I've created a site using ASP.Net MVC that is meant to be stored on a local machine at my place of work. The intention is to have the site stored on this machine, but then accessible by all the other machines within this building.
I've followed Microsoft's tutorial as well as Code Project's tutorial, but I am not having very much luck. The binding is just the localhost, port 80, with * for the IP address. The URL is localhost/GrantTracker.
I've opened the ports within the firewall, checked the permissions on the directory (which is just within wwwroot), tried having the site take the place of the default IIS site (as Microsoft tutorial has you do) and tried having the site stand on its own with its own port (per Code Projects tutorial).
On the host machine I am receiving the standard "This site can't be reached, localhost refused to connect" which feels like either a port or permissions problem. I must be missing a step, but I can't seem to find what it would be. I am new to hosting sites through IIS so forgive me if I am just missing something basic.
I find it a bit strange too because my project uses Windows Authentication and when the site is first visited it performs that initial check with the user, authenticates, but then throws me the error.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
start simple,
create a simple html page, create an IIS application for it, on port 80.
Check and make sure you can see that page from another computer using the internal IP address of the the host machine so something like:
http:\\192.168.0.3\hostapp\test.html .
You can see the proper URL by running it from IIS, this will give you the entire URL you need, with localhost then just replace localhost with the IP address of the host machine to see it on other machines.
Do this in the original IIS folder so you don't encounter any folder permission issues. If you choose another folder you'll have to give access to the Network Service user ( i think, can't remember now, but there is a specific user that needs access to the folder where the website is deployed )
if you can see the page then deploy a proper website and do the same thing. Make sure the app pool is created correctly and it's up and running, then access it again on other computers and it should work.
Port 80 should be open by default so that should not be an issue.
We suddenly started seeing this "Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel" error.
Our website does a simple POST to another server to a HTTPS URL
This suddenly stopped working
Nothing has changed (Windows Updates, our updates, server settings) to cause suspicion. That we know of, or can remember.
We can navigate to the posted URL just fine.
We have other websites that also do this same POST to that same server and they continue to work. Everything is using TLS 1.0 and the target server has not changed anything recently. Nobody has turned off TLS 1.0 on either side.
This issue is discussed in many other stackoverflow postings, so to research systematically we made a clone of the website on the same server. Just copied its code (compiled code folders) and set up another virtual host in the same IIS.
The POST operation from the clone works! Same server, same code, same IIS. So we can't even reproduce it on the exact same setup. The copy is working but the original is throwing this error.
So finally the question:
Does the fact that the copied website can POST successfully give anybody any insight into what may have happened?
Could some IIS settings on the original site been changed? The only thing different is they are two virtual hosts on the same server.
Windows Server 2012R2, IIS 8.5, ASP.NET/C#.
I found the solution here:

The causes can be many, apparently, even Windows updates. Still seems odd that it would happen (consistently) on one website and not on its clone (also consistently).
The specific steps to fix were:
In Group Policy Editor (run: gpedit.msc), went to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Distributed COM > Application Compatibility and enabled "allow local activation security check exemptions"
In short, I can create a new MAMP Pro 3 host with success and then download and install Wordpress 4.0 via MAMP Pro's "Extra's" feature also seemingly with success (no errors, ) ...yet it doesn't turn out that way as the browser says, "Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED".
Full Details: Hi, I've just installed MAMP Pro for the first time on Mac OS 10.9.5 with all the default settings, the WebStart page loaded in the browser, php looks to be running fine. The problem I'm having occurs when running a preliminary test of MAMP by trying the Extras feature and installing Wordpress 4.0. I get no indication that anything went wrong with the default install yet clicking the button next to the Server Name "Open the hosts web page in a browser"... I am greeted with an error in Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc....
"This webpage is not available. Google Chrome's connection attempt to was rejected. Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Google Chrome's connection attempt to testwpextra.dev was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured.
Check your Internet connection
Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.
Check your proxy settings

I'm not using a proxy, I am running apache as my local user and have confirmed the document root is owned by the same user (with read/write permissions), I turned off firewall/littlesnitch just to be sure, same result in various browsers.
I read some fella saying something about setting up his host with IPv6 but I'm using the MAMP control panel to manage the process for me and don't see settings of that nature. Maybe this is done via the Extended tab with directory or VirtualHost parameters, I don't know... wish I did. Please help! Thanks!
I solved my problem by changing MAMPs ports from the default 8888 etc... to 80,443,3306 (on MAMPs General tab). Now all my includes are broken because MAMP doesn't allow "php_value" in htaccess files...one step at a time i guess. =]
i have website http://eshop200.com/
this website got capability of host multiple shop sites with in...
Now issue i am facing is that when we create sub site like this http://pk.eshop200.com/
its working on production server... where as the code version i am running on windows 7.
I have stuck in a situation the error is occuring on subdomain site...
to reproduce that on my local machine... don't no what to do..
any one help in this issue.
You cannot reproduce the effect of wildcard subdomains on the localhost in a windows platform. However, you can make it work for specified subdomains. Just edit your hosts file inside c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
On your development machine, you can created a hosts file entry that makes pk.eshop200.com point to the loopback address 127.0.0.1. Then, you should be able to access your local development server through http://pk.eshop.200.com:[port] in addition to http://127.0.0.1:[port].
I have published ASP.NET web site, using IIS7 on Win7. I can access this web site on my localhost, but it is inaccessable from other computers via internet. I have tried to disable firewall and anti-virus program, but with no success.
Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
It works fine if I publish it on winXP.
Try checking out your router settings for port 80 forwarding;
Check out information about your internet provider as well;
There are providers that block port 80 outgoing traffic.
Try checking to see if the website is actually bound to 127.0.0.1. If it is, it would work for you but no one else.
Try to hit the website from a different computer on the internal network. If you can't hit it internally, then it is an issue with the local configuration on the webserver. If you can hit it internally, but can't hit it externally, then there is some kind of routing issue from the outside.
Its likely a routing issue from the outside, so think about these steps:
External DNS
Proper NAT/Firewall settings
Try using telnet to connect to the website and see if you get a response
Use tracert from the outside to see where the traffic is failing (if its failing)
Check the security settings on the deployed folder and check "Everyone" has read access. If you've not deployed under wwwroot they may not
