The answers above were partial. I’ve spent so much time getting this working, it’s insane. Note to my future self, here is what you need to do: I’m working on Windows 10, with Chrome 65. Firefox is behaving nicely – just confirm localhost as a security exception and it will work. Chrome doesn’t: Step 1. … Read more
Edit: 2-15-2012 This is how to use FB authentication for a localhost website. I find it more scalable and convenient to set up a second Facebook app. If I’m building MyApp, then I’ll make a second one called MyApp-dev. Create a new app at https://developers.facebook.com/apps (New 2/15/2012) Click the Website checkbox under ‘Select how your … Read more
Localhost is just a name given for the loopback, eg its like referring to yourself as “me” ..

That’s definitely possible. We’ll take a general case with Apache here. Let’s say you’re a big Symfony2 fan and you would like to access your symfony website at http://symfony.local/ from 4 different computers (the main one hosting your website, as well as a Mac, a Windows and a Linux distro connected (wireless or not) to … Read more
Well, the most likely difference is that you still have to do an actual lookup of localhost somewhere. If you use 127.0.0.1, then (intelligent) software will just turn that directly into an IP address and use it. Some implementations of gethostbyname will detect the dotted format (and presumably the equivalent IPv6 format) and not do … Read more
I’ve just attempted this – I needed to test some development code on my localhost Apache on Windows. This was WAAAY more difficult than it should be. But here are the steps that managed to work after much hairpulling… I found that my Apache install comes with openssl.exe which is helpful. If you don’t have … Read more
