Chrome auto forwarding 127.0.0.1 to HTTPS

Post by Kent Briggs »

All of a sudden Google Chrome is auto-forwarding 127.0.0.1 connections from HTTP to HTTPS. If this is happening to you and preventing you from launching the Admin Console in version 7, try this:

Paste this line into Chrome's URL bar:

chrome://net-internals/#hsts

Look for the "Delete domain security policies" section at the bottom then enter 127.0.0.1 in the box and click the Delete button.

Alternatively you can connect to localhost instead of 127.0.0.1. In the version 7 Service Manager, click the "Admin Shortcut" button to make a "PM7 Admin" desktop icon. Right-click that icon and select Properties. Change the URL from http://127.0.0.1/admin to http://localhost/admin
