XF 2.1 Unfurl URL - The URL is not requestable (local: 127.0.0.1)

[Anomandaris]

When using the "Test URL Unfurling" tool I get:

"Could not fetch metadata from URL with error: The URL is not requestable (local: 127.0.0.1)"

This only occurs with my own URLs, it works fine on external URLS. External sites, such as this one, can unfurl my URLs. But I cannot unfurl my own.

I recently switched to nginx and centminmod, 99% of everything else is working fine.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Problem is resolved. I received assistance from the Centmin Mod forum

My /etc/hosts was setup like so:

127.0.0.1 MYDOMAIN.com MYDOMAIN
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost4.localdomain4 localhost4

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 MYDOMAIN.com MYDOMAIN
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Removing the 2 lines with MYDOMAIN.com in it resolved the issue.

I had same issue.
It solved by changing /ets/resolve.conf to

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

because /etc/hosts allredy was correct without mydomain.com

I found the true roots of problem. It was at my router , each domain had own DNS returns back to local, looks like 192.168.1.100. I just disabled it and return resolve.conf to default.
So if you have your own physical server behind router at home/office ect. check it as well.
