localhost refused to connect

[viviantic]

Hello Pushkin Team!

Sorry, here's another baby-level question from a newbie. I was building a basic site and an experiment following the Quickstart guidelines. When I tried to local-test it, I got "This site can't be reached. Localhost refused to connect."

Here's what I have checked after I googled the issue: routers, network connections, browser's cache, and firewall settings. However, it still doesn't work. I am looking at the proxy settings now, but I am not sure how to adjust them for this site/experiment to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, @viviantic! Thank you for your question.

Can you tell me what operating system and web browser you are using?

[parkerrobbins]

Thanks for your response. I'm not totally sure what's going on, so I will defer to @jkhartshorne, who will probably have more ideas.

Hello @jkhartshorne @parkerrobbins!

I finally solved the problem. It seems that I haven't been able to run pushkin start successfully. It finally works after I killed everything, cleaned all the cookies and browser history, re-installed pushkin, and created a new site basically all over again. I don't know why, but It's working this way for me.

Thank you so much for your help and for being so patient with this issue.

[jkhartshorne]

There was something wrong with your experiments.js file. You can see in that first line that import undefined command. That won't run. I'm not sure how that happened. Glad it's working now.
