Setting iis 8 on windows 8

I am trying to setup IIS 8 on Windows 8.

enter image description here

This is the snap shot of Turn on/off window feature.

When i run the localhost in google chrome or any other browser it

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to localhost
Did you mean: localhost.­net
Additional suggestions:
Go to localho.­st
Go to localhostr.­com
Try reloading: localhost

What i am missing. IIS 8 is opening on inetmgr but i am not able to see the IIS 8 default page.

It seems, that IIS 8 (perhaps other versions, too) will refuse or not be able to bind to ::1 (which is localhost in IPv6-Terms). Since Win8 is IPv6-capable it will try to connect to IIS via IPv6, which then fails.

This can be circumvented by switching off IPv6 in the Properties of the Networking-Adapter in the System Management of Windows.
