Edit: It looks like this issue is the root cause. The site in question is a http site, but it redirects to https automatically, so I decided to install an SSL cert to see the outcome. /end edit.
I followed the answer here to create a local SSL cert for my WampServer 3.1.0 64-bit.
I have made a local copy of our site, migrated the database to a new local URL (www.superiorit.dev), create an entry in httpd-vhosts.conf, and added a <VirtualHost www.superiorit.dev:443> entry in C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.27\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf which contains the correct path to the .cert and .key files.
When I try to load https://www.superiorit.dev in the browser, I receive the error:
This site can’t be reached www.superiorit.dev refused to connect. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
This is the entry in http-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost www.superiorit.dev:8080>
ServerName www.superiorit.dev
ServerAlias www.superiorit.dev
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/superiorit"
<Directory "C:/wamp64/www/superiorit">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This is the entry in http-ssl.conf:
<VirtualHost www.superiorit.dev:443>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/superiorit"
ServerName www.superiorit.dev:443

Help appreciated.
