I'm in the middle of setting up WSL on Windows to work on PHP stuff with my PHPStorm. Started the config, and installed Apache and PHP. To check, I'm opening my browser on localhost, it works, but on 127.0.0.1 it doesn't.

I need it to work to be able to configure xdebug debugging through port forwarding. I failed doing so with localhost, where I'm pretty used to do it easily on my other (Linux) machine where I'm working with a docker.

From inside my Ubuntu:

~$ cat /etc/hosts

This file was automatically generated by WSL. To stop automatic generation of this file, add the following entry to /etc/wsl.conf:


[network]


generateHosts = false


127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       JB-PC.localdomain       JB-PC


The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts


::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

From Windows:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>ipconfig

and 127.0.0.1 pings as well :

Also I did try the answers here, but they didn't help.

[EDIT] Following @NotTheDr01ds suggestion, I tried with python. Accessing localhost or 127.0.0.1 on port 8080 works all the same, but accessing http://0.0.0.0:8080/ strangely doesn't, although that's what the CLI says it's serving:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>python3 -m http.server 8080 --bind 0.0.0.0
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8080 (http://0.0.0.0:8080/) ...

My Apache VirtualHost:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
        # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
        # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
        # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
        # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
        # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
        # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
        #ServerName www.example.com

    ServerName localhost
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /mnt/c/Users/JB/Documents/projects/bdzserver/public

    # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
    # error, crit, alert, emerg.
    # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
    # modules, e.g.
    #LogLevel info ssl:warn

    &lt;Directory /mnt/c/Users/JB/Documents/projects/bdzserver&gt;
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Require all granted
    &lt;/Directory&gt;

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
    # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
    # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
    # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
    # after it has been globally disabled with &quot;a2disconf&quot;.
    #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
