Then you’ll have to either set up a new WordPress with the new address, or change your existing WordPress site to use the new address.Īlternatively, you could ditch XAMPP altogether, and use Local as it makes the setup a breeze. However, what Wordpress documentation fails to make mention of is that the hostname doesnt allow for local development, despite the fact that this is probably the most common way to develop with Wordpress. You first need to get VHost working in your Apache/XAMPP. WordPress is making the connection, and WordPress lives on your computer, the same place where the database server lives. Leave your DB_HOST pointed to localhost - because your mobile isn’t making any connection to the database host directly. … but when I change DB_HOST from Localhost to ip address I get “Error establishing a database connection” Still getting the same message:Localhost refused to connect errconnectionrefused. You could use the IP address for the computer, or you could even make up any domain name (doesn’t have to be registered)… but set up your computer and mobile (or network) to resolve that made-up domain name to your computer’s IP address. Unfortunately, after uninstalling the VPN and restarting my system and the XAMPP control panel with Admin rights, localhost would not connect. You need to change your WordPress address to something else other than localhost.

So you can’t access a localhost URL you set up on your computer from your mobile device. If you access it from your computer, it’s pointing to that computer and if you access it from your mobile device, it’s pointing to the mobile device. The address localhost, by convention, points to the specific device you’re accessing it from.
