Nodejs Localhost issue on Chrome

Question

I am just learning node and I am having some issue running locally on chrome. When I try hitting localhost:3000. When I start the project in my terminal i get my first log that it is listening on 3000, but then when I hit the page it just tells me that the webpage is unavailable and i don't see any more logs. But it does work in Safari and Firefox.

Also if I switch it over to port 80 and run it on my actual server it works fine in chrome. Ive tried clearing all my cache, running in incognito and restarting my comp. Nothing seems to work.

Chrome suggests that it might be a proxy issue, but I'm not why or how something like that would have changed, as this problem only started in the last couple of days and I haven't changed anything.

Answer 1

Instead of localhost:3000, try 127.0.0.1:root folder
