GuzzleHttp \ Exception \ ConnectException cURL error 7: Failed to connect to localhost port 8088: Connection refused

Question

I'm using laradock and I can access the page in browser http://localhost:8088/api/getakicks/get without any problems.

But when I try to access it in controller I'm getting this error:

GuzzleHttp \ Exception \ ConnectException cURL error 7: Failed to connect to localhost port 8088: Connection refused

The code I use:

  $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();

  // Set various headers on a request
  $client->request('GET', 'http://localhost:8088/api/getakicks/get');

Answer 1

Get IP address on MAC, click on wifi icon -> Open Network Preferences -> then copy the IP address 192.168.100.41 (own unique IP) and replace with xxx in below code

$client->request('GET', 'http://xxx.xxx.xx.x:8088/api/getakicks/get');

Thank you for your comment. Now I get cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: 118.238.x.x I'm on Mac – Silma

Replace x with number, for example 192.168.1.24 – Scoggins

@RouhollahMazarei I did in the first place - just didn't wanna flash my IP out :) – Silma

Answer 3

When using Docker, localhost in the container points to the container itself, not your host machine. In your case changing http://localhost:8088 to http://host.docker.internal:8088 lets the container access services on your host’s localhost, which fixes the connection issue.
