Can t access 127 0 0 1

Question

I can t figure out when this started to happen  but the result is - 127 0 0 1 is not working on any port from anywhere  for example  browser says Unable to connect   Here are the results of my research    localhost  COMPUTER NAME and actual IP address all work fine there is nothing special in my hosts file ping to 127 0 0 1 and tracert do work fine all the programs that have 127 0 0 1 hardcoded are not working  this point makes me disappointed the most  because I can t do anything in this case     What else can I do to identify the source of problem and fix it   UPDATE  as soon as Redis does work on 127 0 0 1 and both IIS and AzureStorageEmulator don t work I assume this is HTTP only issue

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 hosts   And 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
