Can't access administration locally (port removed from URL)

Hi guys,

I'm running Umbraco 7.11.1

Not too long ago I added https certificate through Unoeuro to my site. It worked just great, I also used this snippet to redirect to the https:

<rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="(.*)" />
                <conditions>
                    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true" />
                    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="localhost" negate="true" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>

            <rule name="Strip www. from URL" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="true" />
                <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.(.+)$" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="http://{C:1}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

However, when I open the site in VS Community 2017 and attempt to access http://localhost:52242/umbraco it removes the port and attemps to access https://localhost/umbraco which of course returns an error.

I attempted to remove the snippet provided above and re-build my solution but with no success.

The way I run my site is through visual studio itself, not through the IIS.

Any idea why I can't access the database locally?

Hi MBE

When you say rebuild the solution locally, are you saying the build fails, or does it build but you can't access the database ?

If it fails to build then please provide the error message(s) returned from Visual Studio.

If it does build, have you got the right dB connection parameters for your local database ?

Cheers, Nigel

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for helping me out.

When I re-build the entire project there's no errors. My connectionstring looks like this:
```
    <connectionStrings>
    <remove name="umbracoDbDSN" />
    <add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Umbraco.sdf;Flush Interval=1;" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
    
</connectionStrings>
```
But the thing is, when I access the website locally it works perfectly fine at http://localhost:52242/default.aspx, the site is shown.

But when I access http://localhost:52242/umbraco it strips the port and goes to HTTPS as shown here: https://localhost/umbraco

I can't seem to figure out what causes Umbraco to redirect to HTTPS and without the port.

Hi MBE

Have you tried different browsers (Chrome can be a bit of a kleptomaniac with URL's) or incognito ?

Hi there,

I had this error before and the issue for me was that on the web.config the setting for umbracoUseSSL was set to true instead of false, hope this helps
