Hmmm... can't reach this page. Localhost refused to connect
Hi all,
I have installed the on-premise version 12.5.1 on my new laptop. The Board Engine and Board WebApi Engine services are up and running. When trying to open Board in the web browser, I don't even get to the Board login. A message pops up saying "Hmmm… can't reach this page - localhost refused to connect".
I've already tried to change the port in the appsettings.config from 443 to 80 ( <add key="host" value="https://*:443/" />) and restarted the services. No change.
Any idea what I could try next?
Many thanks!

Hi Barbara,
you need also to change https to http. That should work,
And don't forget to restart the Board Web Api after the change.
Regards
Felix

Worked! Many thanks, Felix!

The main reason is that https should be changed to http for no SSL option. I tried "https://*:90/" and it also worked. However when I tried "https://*:80/" the WebApi Engine service could not start because it was occupied by IIS.
