Ubuntu Servers :: Firefox Can't Connect To Localhost But Chromium Can
Jul 28, 2010
After spending what seems like an eternity trying to learn how to host a couple of webpages on my laptop for no better reason than to practice creating them without paying for a server. .for the time being, I kept getting the usual errors (stuff I have seen lots of tutorials on) and this time kept getting
"The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost"
Just by random chance I happened to open up Chromium for one of my attempts and low and behold, I get the much awaited
Quote:
It works! This is the default web page for this server.The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet. I can even login to phpMyAdmin from Chromium. So what's going on with Firefox? Doesn't work in Seamonkey either. Using 10.04

I installed required updates on my linux installation (ubuntu 9.4) I am now unable to access my localhost, and get the following message from my browser: Failed to Connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost. Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection. I checked my hosts file which has the following information:

I've just moved on to 10.04 from 9.10. The program worked fine in 9.10. I *may* have overwritteen a conf file in the upgrade...
I now get the error as below:
My userdir.conf is like this:
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
UserDir disabled root
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
[Code]....
and I have the PHP5 module installed. I vaguely recall that I may have had PHP4 installed - would the upgrade have removed it? Is there anywhere I can get it from to try? Anything else to do?

Notice how LQ is pinned as an App Tab, just like the case with Chrome and Chromium? Notice also how the tabs are placed above the address bar, just like Chrome and Chromium?
Just why was this done and for what purpose? I'm posting this here because this screenshot was taken on Ubuntu and I'm using Ubuntu. I also tested Firefox 4 on Ubuntu before and didn't have this realignment of widgets.

I have two machines running Ubuntu 9.1, both with Firefox 3.5 fitted, working well, apart from an error on one machine.When trying to download a Torrent I get the error "Firefox can't establish a connection at the server at localhost: 12322".The other machine is fine without this error.I have searched the Firefox files and this forum, plus a variety of sources but cannot find an answer, apart from "use the other machine".

I'm having a problem getting the website [URL]... to display and function properly on 10.10. What I thought odd was that it fails to work in both Firefox and Chromium, although other Flash applications work fine. Is anyone having the same problem I am? Does anybody know what the issue might be?

I have got a problem with Adobe Flash. Flash is freezing firefox or chromium (I installed it just for test) until I kill plugin-container (in firefox).
I tested intensively and I can say that it freezes when Flash is going to reproduce a sound.

After updating to Natty Narwhal, Chromium began to occasionally crash, with the screen going black except for the mouse,which would freeze seconds later. Any sound playing will loop the last second or so, and no keyboard commands have any effect. As far as I can tell only a hard restart works.
The exact same thing happens with Firefox as well, except that Firefox freezes with the screen image, not blackness.
It is not consistent, but has been getting more frequent, and I have noticed a pattern of the crashes being associated with paying Flash video, and is almost certain with such.
I have tried updating Flash, Chromium, and running the Update manager roughly daily for a while now.
I can follow instructions well and usually actually understand what you're talking about.

Does anyone know of any download manager that allows you to time your downloads to start off at certain times / hours et cetera? I currently use DownThemAll! as an extension in my Firefox, but I don't think that has such a capability. I would prefer a browser extension, but if there's an application that would do I'd be thankful if you could name it.
I need this so that I time my downloads at certain hours and have them run automatically, due to the fact that my ISP allows some uncharged hours at night which I basically never made use of (but now I have to, as my free data download limit is close to being used up).

I would like to know if you guys think this is a safe plugin/extension to use with either Chromium or Firefox.
There is an old page that shows it had security issues in the past.[URL].. Would it be safe to use this or do you think someone could use it to steal my passwords, etc. while browsing?

When I start firefox the first thing it does is asking a username and a password. Very strange. Other browsers do not do this authomatically, but they do if i type localhost in the adressbar. I'm using ubuntu10.04, and firefox 3.6.11. At the very beginning I thought that there was some problem with TOR, since the problem first appeared one day I turned it on (I had used it before, without having any problem). Now I've completely uninstalled TOR, but the problem is still there.

I've been going through the Comprehensive multimedia and video howto a couple of times and never get streaming going. When testing on the Apple trailers site and this here I don't get it to work. I tried both streaming options set in the thread, (a) Gecko Media Player and (b) MPlayer Plug-in (removing the other one in between) and am getting very annoyed. Currently have option (a) installed.

I recently installed Chromium and went to listen to one of my favorite podcasts, only to find that it wouldn't play. Like the title says, it plays perfectly well in Firefox. Is there some Chromium extension I need in order to play .mp3 files?

My System spec is::Ubuntu 10.04/Kernel 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu i686 GNU/Linux
gnome::2.30.2. Laptop - Dell E6400. today I updated it, the problem I'm facing occurs even before update so update is not the cause.till yesterday night every thing worked fine.Problem::>>When ever i try to print from firefox/Chromium/Gedit the print dialog appears shows just print to file and hang up !>>I checked in System->Administration->Printing and it shows list of network printers(I'm in Lan). Even i can successfully print from gvim/writer.>> once i left that dialog box left open, may be around 10 min latter i saw the list of printer but when i tried again same thing- Hang I even checked with cupsd it is running normally.Admin team just solved the problem it was due to the shared printer option enabled in System->Administration-Printing.Hope the shared printer call was delaying too much to cause hang.

I've got a fun one for you. What makes absolutely any attempt to view a flash video crash Ubuntu 10.10, both in firefox and chromium? Lately, firefox began doing this. I switch to chromium, same thing. Also, the system completely locks up after about 30 minutes online if I can get the thing to work at all. When this happens, the rounded edges of all windows disappear, the menus become unresponsive, and any attempt to open the system monitor to end the offending process results in an "Unable to fork new process, system resource unvailable" something like that.
My entire online routine goes like this: open terminal, su to admin account to enable ufw (which will not run at boot no matter what I try), su to normal, limited account, open web browser, things explode (or work for 15 minutes before freezing completely.)

i know it all sounds weard but ive been searching google so much now.. look the setup is kinda straight forward. We got a test server for websites. This server has lamp server configured. Now i have a Website in the apache www folder. From here on everything works fine in http://localhost or 127.0.1.1 etc etc. also i have configured virtualhosts. This so we can have a live enviroment but its actually a test enviroment.
Now i try to connect trough the lannetwork! so i goto my windows client and hit in the browser :http://(serverip+port) and also tried http://(serverip) When i do this i get a 403 forbiddin acces. I solved that problem by deleted a line in the apache2.conf wot was called : virtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xx: xx
Now Hes loading the page but says he cant connect to 127.0.1.1 Any1 knows a solution? (sorry for my bad grammer btw )

I am running the HTTP server (Jetty) from Eclipse IDE, which listens on port 8888. I can connect to it in the browser with URL [URL] but not with http://192.168.1.100:8888/home, where 192.168.1.100 is my local IP. Not from this PC or any other PC in the LAN. Firewall is disabled. I can successfully ping to 192.168.1.100. I can share from this PC with SAMBA.
All configuration and logs look fine.

After finding firefox too slow, i recently shifted full time to chromium. and now i know why it has such a fan following ! its seriously fast, especially as compared to firefox - which at least in my case would appear to have got bogged down because of numerous add-ons etc.
However, there are 2 things that disturb the basic functional of chromium.
- Whenever i click on the browser icon, the window that opens up is never in "maximized" size. so every time i need to double click on the title border to maximize the window. is there some way in which the browser window will open in maximized mode the first time i click the icon ?
- Firefox wouid readily open pdf files within the browser window itself. however, chromium asks me to first save the file at some location, and then only can i open it !
