HTTP Loopback - where the server couldn't access the site which is hosted in the same server
-
Hi there,
I have added infiniteWP in a lamp stack on cloudron as a fallback for my failed managed WordPress approach. Wanted to clone my existing site to an unmanaged WordPress.It looks like I have connection errors from infiniteWP to the other instance on the same server. Their support released an article, which may explain this.
Is that the case for cloudron instances?
-
Yes, the curl from web terminal worked. The diagnostics from infinite says something else - see http loopbacks:
Based on that discussion, curl / wget seems not the diagnosis for this issue:
https://serverfault.com/questions/420897/how-to-enable-http-loopback-connectionsI have no idea, how the vservers are set in cloudron. Maybe there needs to be something additionally added to make it work so servers on the same instance reach each other?

That was the response of WPML:
Located here: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=sitepress-multilingual-cms%2Fmenu%2Fsupport.php
Meanwhile, it shows REST API supported. I wish I had saved a screenshot... it makes me look like a foolNo cloudfare etc., all is directly connected.

@dsp76 said in HTTP Loopback - where the server couldn't access the site which is hosted in the same server:
Located here: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=sitepress-multilingual-cms%2Fmenu%2Fsupport.php
Ah, looks like this from some other plugin and not IWP (per the url) ?

Exactly, I had trouble with two plugins at the same time:
- WPML (sitepress-mulilingual-cms)
- InfiniteWP
For WPML - not sure if that was related to HTTP Loopback - the API is again reachable.
InfiniteWP still complains about the loopback issue.I will give it a try with another WP Instance later today. Will report back.

Hi @girish - we again run in this issue, while we choose a workaround in January.
We can't connect from infiniteWP Panel (installed in this instance) to a LAMP instance.We came back to the loopback issue, which was also mentioned in the IWP diagnostics:
https://support.infinitewp.com/support/solutions/articles/195234-error-while-adding-a-wordpress-site-to-the-infinitewp-admin-panelShould we be able to connect from one Cloudron App to another? We even tried with the Instance "local" IP address, but had no luck.

Response from IWP: https://support.infinitewp.com/support/tickets/497259
"I had a developer look into this issue, and he confirmed that our code was having trouble detecting the HTTP Loopback request.
So, I kindly request you ignore the HTTP loopback status on your IWP admin panel." -
