“Connection refused” Angular 4 localhost developme

Question

I am getting "Connection refused" page while running Angular 4 app locally.

URL is http://localhost:4200/

Running the app with ng serve --open command.

UPDATE 1: angular.json

With some sources I have found that the angular cli file is now changed as angular.json.

bellow are the details from agnular.json

Answer 1

I have found a solution for this and it is quite simple. As @Devid ask mi about corporate proxy the I have started searching solution in this direction. Finally i have found that there was minor mistake in my LAN proxy settings.

While configuring proxy server I forget to enable the option "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" and which is causing mi above error.

Below is the screenshot for more details.

Answer 2

Go to command line and run ng serve --port 4200.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Instead of localhost try accessing your app using your IP like this,

(Assuming that you're using Windows) In your command line, Type => ipconfig and copy the ip address it returns,

For, Eg if the IP address is, 192.168.0.10 then, you can access your application (after issuing ng server) as,

http://192.168.0.10:4200

Hope this helps!
