  • Please share more details. Is this a problem with Wordpress itself, or with the VM? Is this problem even related to programming? – Nico Haase Aug 15 '23 at 09:09
  • Hi, thanks to response, I think problem is caused by the VM, in deployment manager page i click on url and i get "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED". – user3137353 Aug 15 '23 at 15:48

The below points can be taken into consideration for resolving your issue.

  • Incoming firewall rules for your instance should be using port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS. Ensure these ports are not used by another application or blocked by a firewall.

    Console->VPCnetwork->Firewall

  • Check your web server status and restart if needed.

    To restart a Web server,try below commands based on your application.

For Apache: Sudo service apache restart

For Nginx: Sudo nginx apache restart

For Database: Sudo mysql apache restart

  • Make sure you have sufficient resources and database settings in your wordpress. It should be using ‘wp-config-php’.

SSH session-> sudo nano /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php

  • Another possibility is to increase the memory limit of PHP in wp-config. php. If you are using shared hosting, you may have to ask your hosting provider to increase your memory limit. This allows you to run heavy plugins successfully which helps wordpress site to run longer.

  • Try bypassing DNS issues or recheck your DNS configuration and restart your VM instance. Directly access the IP address http://your-instance-ip and if it works then the problem is with your DNS.

  • Plugins: Some plugins can cause the application to show a warning or directly crash. This is due to incompatibilities with the WordPress version or some special Apache requirements (such as using .htaccess files). Disabling or removing the conflicting plugin solves the issue.

For more information you can refer to the official documentation.

UPDATE:

To fix a problem related to ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED you can try the below commands by referring to the blog written by David Aladegbaiye Patricks.

  • to stop and start systems: sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start
  • to check all services running : sudo service -status-all
  • to run the script to force start Apache: sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
