Apache Geode in 15 minutes pulse site can’t provide a secure connection localhost sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Question

On a local machine I download a fresh install of Geode 1.13 and run through Apache Geode in 15 minutes or less with default settings. After the install, step 2 start a locator works fine, but when I try step 3 start pulse which opens Chrome at https://localhost:7070/pulse I get the error

This site can’t provide a secure connection localhost sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

I have tried switching off local firewalls and get the same error

Answer 1

Per start locator I had to add the --http-service-bind-address=localhost or --http-service-bind-address=127.0.0.1 and then in Chrome make sure I was pointing to http address http://127.0.0.1:7070/pulse and the screen came up.
