Can't access 127.0.0.1
If it's a DNS problem, you could try:
- ipconfig /flushdns
- ipconfig /registerdns
If this doesn't fix it, you could try editing the hosts file located here:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostsAnd ensure that this line (and no other line referencing localhost) is in there:
127.0.0.1 localhost
In windows first check under services if world wide web publishing services is running. If not start it.
If you cannot find it switch on IIS features of windows: In 7,8,10 it is under control panel , "turn windows features on or off". Internet Information Services World Wide web services and Internet information Services Hostable Core are required.Not sure if there is another way to get it going on windows, but this worked for me for all browsers. You might need to add localhost or http:/127.0.0.1 to the trusted websites also under IE settings.
