Econnrefused For Proxy Request From Localhost To Another Localhost

To begin, I'm new to angular and I'm following a tutorial video step by step. I've been stuck on this issue for nearly 2 weeks and have spent many hours looking for solutions in o

Solution 1:

If you are using Angular and PHP built in server, you have to use IP addresses on both sides. So something like: "target": "http://127.0.0.1:8000" on Angular side + something like php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t public on PHP side.

Solution 2:

I had the same problem and searched for a solution for ages...

In my case it helped to provide the IP of localhost, instead of "localhost".

So change your proxy-config to this:

{"/api":{"target":"http://127.0.0.1:1234","secure":false,"changeOrigin":true}}

And also try using "ng serve --proxy-config proxyconfig.json" instead of the npm start version. I read that sometimes the package.json config-part got ignored for some people.

Hope this helps!
