Problem Publishing Silverlight Application LocalHost - silverlight-3.0

I am trying to publish my SilverLight application to the web and I keep getting "An error occurred while trying to make a request to URI "http://localhost:2898....".
I've changed the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig to point to the web address but the app still keeps on trying to connect to localhost.
I've opened the application in FireFox and took a look at the firebug log and it says: -
clientaccesspolicy.xml 404 Not Found localhost:2898
crossdomain.xml 404 Not Found localhost:2898.
The silverlight app is accessing the web service in the same domain, I just don't know why it is still trying to connect to localhost.
Any help appreciated.

Two things come to mind, but check your "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" file and make sure ure local computer name or ip isnt mapped to localhost or the network machine isnt mapped to localhost for whatever strange reason.
Is the Silverlight app And WCF Service hosted on your localmachine, or are you accessing a server on your local network?

Just open the hosts file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc) and uncomment the following line (remove # from the beginning of the line): 127.0.0.1 localhost
Then save it, it should work.

Trouble connecting to Docker application via subdirectory instead of port

Preface: I'm new to the whole web hosting thing, so I apologize if any information I give doesn't make sense or is inaccurate. I will do my best to explain things.
I currently have a self-hosted server running Windows Server 2019 that is hosting two sites via IIS. I recently have created an application that runs on a Docker container instance that hosts a website on port 40444. I would like to access this site via a specific subdirectory on my website instead of the port (www.mywebsite.com/website3 instead of www.mywebsite.com:40444). For clarification, here is an example of what I'm looking to do:
www.mywebsite.com/website1 (hosted on IIS)
www.mywebsite.com/website2 (hosted on IIS)
www.mywebsite.com/website3 (hosted on docker via port 40444)
I was able to get a basic reverse proxy set up and successfully got the docker application to show on localhost/, but I would prefer using a subdirectory if possible.(image below).
I attempted to change (.*) to (.*)website3$ and it did what I wanted, but the website cannot load any files (i.e css, js, etc.) and gives me the following error
https://www.mywebsite.com/css/style.css net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
If IIS isn't the best option to accomplish what I need I am more than happy to use a different solution. As I mentioned before, I'm new to web hosting and it was just the simplest to set up.

How can I access my localhost on my computer from my Android device?

I have a web application written in ASP.NET MVC 5. I simply can open it from the browser with this localhost:14920 in my computer, but I want to access the same application from my Android device's browser while my laptop and Android device are in the same network. I don't know how to access it from Android.
Note: when I type 127.0.0.1 in the Android browser I can access the IIS server, but when I type 127.0.0.1:14920 it prints Bad Request - Invalid Hostname. How can I fix this issue?
You can configure IISExpress for remote access
http://www.ryadel.com/en/iis-express-allow-external-requests-remote-clients-devices/
or just change the hosting to IIS as the earlier commenter mentioned.
Try with replacing 127.0.0.1 with your IPv4 address.
I have used ngrok in the past, when needing to hit my development machine, or have someone else hit it. It is a very useful tool and very simple to install.
Once you download it, it's just a simple command line:
https://ngrok.com/docs#expose
ngrok http 80
(That is for traffic on port 80) Since your port above looks different it would be:
ngrok http 14920
That will give a URL that you can hit or any machine or device.

Configuring SSL to work with IIS and parse server

I have an ssl certificate(Geotrust) installed to IIS 8, listening on port 443 and running on windows server 2012-r2. This works when I access https://myapp.example.com and it shows me the standard IIS page. My problem is that I am trying to connect to the parse-server(nodejs, express) running on serverUrl: http://localhost:1337/parse. So when trying to connect to https://myapp.example.com:1337/parse
chrome says: "myapp.example.com finished the connection unexpectedly" and I cant reach the expected site.
ios-simulator says: kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9806.
The connections to http works as expected on the urls described above.
I have tried to set the SSL port to 1337(and portforward 443->1337 on my router), but then I can not start the parse-server on the same port.
First time doing this, so really gratefull if anyone can point me in the right direction!
Solved by doing an reverse proxy in IIS 8.
I needed two applications in IIS and downloaded them like this: yourSite->right-click middle pane->"install application from gallery" and search & download these:
Download URL Rewrite (i downloaded 3.0)
Application Request Routing
This helped a lot:

Any hits to localhost redirect me to IIS welcome page

I'm trying to debug my application but any URLs which contain localhost (I've tried IIS Express, Local IIS, a simple Node server, and a Python development server) are redirected to the IIS welcome screen.
Examples:
localhost:xxxx/MyController
localhost:xxxx/SomeFolder/SomeFile.html
localhost/MyApp/MyController
localhost/MyApp/SomeFolder/SomeFile.html
The URL changes from the full url to my external IP address (i.e., URL changes from localhost:xxxx/MyController to simply XX.XX.XX.XX)
I just tried launching with a brand new ASP.NET "Empty Web Site," just loading the index.html file, and same situation.
There are no entries in my hosts file and it appears that this is only happening in Chrome. Any ideas?
This works in php, so it may help you with ASP:
Run Notepad as administrator
Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file
add the following line to hosts file
127.0.0.1:123 yourserver.com
Save
Run command prompt using CMD in run or type it in start menu
Type this command and hit enter
ipconfig /flushdns
Close
go to yourserver.com
I hope this help you. Again, this works fine with PHP.
It sounds like your DNS is resolving the localhost hostname. If you're using your ISP's DNS, this may happen. You could change the DNS to Google's Public DNS. By pointing the DNS server to IP's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. See the link for details on how to configure your computer.

"getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution" in RoR application

I'm trying to retrieve emails from gmail using pop3 to my rails applicaiton. I get the error - "getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution" when i try to retrieve the email.
the weird thing is, it works when i try it at home but not at my university. i'm guessing it has something to do with the internet connection.
please help!
I had the same problem just started getting this error out of the blue in a RoR application that connects to an API using a RestClient running on a local virtual machine using Vagrant that I have as a development environment.
The only thing that fixed the issue was simply restarting my virtual machine. Just done a vagrant down & up command, then rackup and back in the game.
This generally means you aren't getting a response from DNS. Your university connection is probably behind a proxy preventing you from directly accessing the Internet. If so, this proxy must be specified in your code. Check your POP3 library documentation, or failing that, you may be able to use a library like socksify that redirects TCP connections through your SOCKS proxy.
Simple. You may be directed through a proxy server. Set up a new connection ,set up your college settings,restart your server and it should work.
ssh into your server and check if the machine is able to resolve the domain.
ping <your_site> should resolve the domain name to IP.
If its not resolving correctly, then there is some problem in your hosting service.
quick fix: You can manually map domain-to-ip in the etc/hosts file of your server.
