Hi everyone, I've installed a older version of the DNN Platform some time ago but since the last update the DNN Platform acts super weird on my laptop. I've installed the DNN Platform with NVQuickSite. I see the error "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" and I can confirm that the Microsoft SQL Server is turned on.

This is what I've tried unsuccessfully:

Reinstalling the DNN Platform

Reinstalling Google Chrome Dev

Using Google DNS

Executing the command "Netsh winsock reset"

Clearing cache of DNS

Restarting Microsoft SQL Server

Restarting laptop

Clearing all browser data of the DNN Platform

I haven't ideas left about how I could possibly solve the issue so how can I fix the ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED issue? Thanks for your time, effort and time in advance!

- Hi, I've updated the DNN Platform on my project to v9.13.2 with NVQuickSite and doing that fixed my issue magically. I want to thank you for your time, effort and support lastly!

Good to read it got sorted!

Great thing about NVquicksite: if for some reason, things get funky, you have a new install in minutes :-)

My guess is this had something to do with SSL. It has been reported several times, but it is a tough one to troubleshoot because 95% of the time it is something environmental. (Disclaimer: That percentage is just a guess of mine based on experience - haha!)

As David (the nvQuickSite inventor) mentioned, this normally has something to do with the SSL not being completely set up from end-to-end.
