Cannot turn off SSL
I have installed a different version of WampServer after experiencing an anomaly in version 3.2.3 which I was not able to resolve. I uninstalled the old version and installed version 3.0.6. I confirmed that all VC packages are installed correctly and feel reasonably comfortable that WampServer installed correctly. I am using Adobe Dreamweaver v. 10.0, Build 4117. Prior to this problem, I used WampServer for years without any serious issues.
When I try to access the website using Firefox or Chrome, the page fails to load. Chrome gives me the error message, “localhost refused to connect.” Firefox gives me the error message, “Unable to connect” which, by itself, is not very helpful, but it also shows the full URL which contains the “https” SSL protocol indication. Based on what I see in Firefox, it appears something, somewhere is forcing a SSL connection. Localhost is not set up for it, nor do I want to do so.
The website has a .htaccess file so I checked it and confirmed that it is not configured for secure connections. I have no virtual host settings and relevant httpd.config ssl settings are commented out.
The local setup needs php 5.6 to be compatible with the production site.
