I’m installed DevKinsta 2.13.4 on to Ubuntu 24.04.2.LTS.

I’ve cloned my site from Kinsta and that seems fine.

If I try to open the site I’m redirected from .local:8081 to .local and I get ‘This site cannot be reached’.

I’ve tried with “auto-detect open ports” enabled/disabled.  
I’ve changed the default port from 42789 to 8081, and I get the same redirect.  
I’ve tried incognito window to avoid some cached settings/value.

docker -ps shows…

I’ve pruned old docker images (docker system prune -a) and restarted, and no change.

hosts file seems fine, they all point to local system..

jp@jp-Inspiron-3721:~$ more /etc/hosts | grep nex  
::1 nex_**y.local  
127.0.0.1 nex**_y.local  
::1 www.nex_**y.local  
127.0.0.1 www.nex**_y.local  
127.0.0.1 nex_**y.local  
127.0.0.1 www.nex**_y.local  
::1 nex_**y.local  
::1 www.nex**_y.local

So I don’t think its a domain name routing issue, just a port forwarding issue.

Can you offer any advice please.

This is only an issue on my site I’ve imported from Kinsta. Creating a new local test site works fine.

Hi @jeff_porter

Welcome to the Kinsta Community.

The URLs in the WordPress database might not have been updated when you switched ports in the Devkinsta app. Can you check if the old ports are still included for the site and home URLs in the site’s database? (example: [https://yourdomain.com:42789](https://yourdomain.com:42789))

I rebooted twice and it seems to have solved the issue, I can now access the site via 8081. This enough for me play with devKinsta, thanks.
