Some time ago I used Debian-derived programming. Today I installed Mint 18.3 properly updated and installed MySQL, Apache 2, PHP and phpMyAdmin as I always have, but I can only access it by IP, by 'localhost' or by 127.0.0.1. If I type an address xxx.dev (properly registered in the hosts file) I have the following outputs:
Firefox
Could not connect
Firefox was unable to establish a connection to the server server.dev.
