Why does navigation to localhost not work on Windows Server 2008 R2? The expected result is the IIS application hosted on the machine in question to be returned. Navigation to localhost/mySite
returns a 404 however using machineName/mySite
returns the application as expected.
Is there a way to fix this to allow localhost to properly work?
What has already been attempted to no avail, modifying the registry:
setting DWORD
: DisableLoopbackCheck
1 at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0
