    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" />
        <!-- Important: If you're upgrading Umbraco, do not clear the connection string / provider name during your web.config merge. -->
    </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
