Browsing localhost:80 Doesn't Display Default Website in IIS7

Way before now, there was no problem with my IIS configuration. But recently as I tried to test my asp.net application on my browser (Google Chrome), I get unable to connect to the internet instead of my web application on my development machine.

I later discovered localhost:80 was not displaying the IIS default website anymore. I changed the port from 80 to 8080, 81 and 85 but all to no avail.

I have checked to ensure that iis is still running and nothing is blocking port 80. Also ran telnet localhost 80 but couldn't open the connection. Please I need help as I do not know what else to do. Thanks.

If you have access to IIS root through 127.1.1.1 but not through http://localhost , a software of spyware might edited your hosts file. open the following file using notepad (run notepad as administrator and look for all files (not .txt files only))

(C:/)>/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

and then make sure if the correct IP is assigned to localhost. you should have (or add) this line to hosts:

127.1.1.1   localhost
