IIS not displaying default page or any other page - html

I'm using Windows 10 and try to access to the localhost of the IIS Manager, but neither the web site I create or the default web page can be accessed
I tried activating .NET extensibility 3.5 and 4.6 and also activated Static Content to see if that solved the problems, but it appears that it doesn't.
On Microsoft Edge Browser I get this:
"HTTP 404 error
That’s odd ... Microsoft Edge can’t find this page"
And on Google Chrome I get a blank page.
EDIT : I had Skype using the ports 80 and 443, and now on Microsoft Edge I get this "Hmm, we can't reach this page. Try this •Make sure you’ve got the right web address: localhost "
And I also changed the port of IIS to 8080.

Is there a page iistart.html in C:intetpub\wwroot? You may want to troubleshoot a few settings. Guide can be found here that might be some assistance to you.

I was facing the same issue, just went "uninstall" ISS and restart the PC, then go back and install it again, now it's working.

Adding 127.0.0.1 to hosts file to redirect locally has error. Says my site “refused to connect.”

I answered this below for anyone that is interested
I'm on Windows 10 using Chrome, Firefox and MS Edge. I'm trying to do something for a class I'm taking and can't get it to work. All I want to do is add something like this to the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 mysite.dev
This is ALL to run on my local PC. I eventually need to have my site able to run on IIS, but this is the first step and I can't get past it. (I'm on my second day trying)
What I've done:
I did edits in notepad on a file on my desktop.
I renamed the original hosts file in the drivers/etc directory.
I copied my file into the drivers/etc directory.
I ran ipconfig -flushdns
I successfully pinged the new site with: ping mysite.dev
I cleared browsing history in all three browsers.
I reopened all three browsers.
All that failed to make any difference (and I rebooted as well) So I added this:
I ran ipconfig -flushdns
Then ipconfig -renew
Then ipconfig -registerdns
Then repeated steps 5->6 and all failed to make any difference. These are the errors per browser:
Chrome: This site can’t be reached mysite.dev refused to connect.
Firefox: Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at www.mysite.dev.
MS Edge: Hmmm...can’t reach this page
I noticed that all three browsers changed http to https. Not sure if that mattered but I followed instructions to disable this re-direct for all three browsers and NONE of them actually stopped the redirect to https.
And I still can't the correct result, which should be the IIS default page. I can see the IIS default page with localhost, so IIS is running.
Help! Any ideas or directions at all would be very appreciated!
Got the answer from someone. Google owns the .dev domains and has restrictions on it so it HAS to be HTTPS, which requires certs etc, which is not in the scope of my class. I just changed it to mysite.local and BOOM!, there it was! Thanks.

IIS 10 - Chrome 44 ERR_SPDY_INADEQUATE_TRANSPORT_SECURITY

After upgrading to Windows 10, I am receiving the ERR_SPDY_INADEQUATE_TRANSPORT_SECURITY in Google Chrome (Firefox 39 just doesn't load the page) when I attempt to access my machine over HTTPS. I have a GoDaddy signed certificate for my computer.
I've attempted disabling most of my encryption ciphers per https://http2.github.io/http2-spec/#BadCipherSuites.
I've gone so far that I've disabled ciphers that are keeping me from RDPing to my desktop...and it still gives me an error!
Any guidance is appreciated.
Apparently you are not the only one having this issue: Disabling HTTP/2 / SPDY in HTTP.SYS and IIS in Windows 10
According to the error message this is a SPDY issue, so the certificate and the cipher suites are not the cause.
SPDY is a protocol allowing multiplexing HTTPS requests but it will be replaced by HTTP/2. As a temporary fix, you can apparently disable its support in you browser/registry/server.
I ran into this same issue after my win 10 dev machine got updated twice recently (the updates took around 35-40 minutes to deploy each time) and after this i was not able to run my Visual studio 2015 web applications over Https on Chrome but was able to run on IE
I tried out the registry method for disabling Http 2 as mentioned
here, but this did not worked for me
Then I came across the following solution: I downloaded IIS Crypto and
selected "Cipher Suites" option and clicked Best Practices button, and applied
it, My problem was gone and i can now run my web app over Https in Chrome just like before
Uncheck "Enable SSl" in your project properties under the Debug tab
I solved a similar problem by removing the parameter "Strict´Transport-Security" with value "max-age = 31536000; includeSubDomains; preload" from "HTTP Response Headers"

Localhost not loading in any browser

I have asked a similar question before here I sort of fixed it but im still facing a similar issue. Every time I try to load localhost, port 8095, I receive this error message in Google Chrome:
Google Chrome's connection attempt to localhost was rejected. The
website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured.
If there is a way to fix it, please tell me,
If not, please could someone inform me how to reset IIS to its original settings. Or if I can reset Windows Features so I can re-install ISS from scratch.
My website uses ASP with a connection to a SQL Server database (2012). Basic HTML pages also don't load under the URL, localhost:8095/
The servers were stopped because 2 services within administrative tools had stopped. World Wide Web Publishing Service and Web Management Service

Chrome & Firefox keep asking for authentication when going to localhost

I'm having a problem where Chrome & Firefox have both started bringing up a popup window saying authentication required when going to localhost (401 page).
If I am on the network I can put in my usual network username/password and it works fine, but if I'm offline (the very reason I'm using localhost) that authentication fails and I get sent to a 403 page.
This does not happen in IE and was not happening a few days ago, my network settings are set to ignore Proxy on localhost and auto detect settings is switched off.
Any ideas?
Problem is the permission of your site directory. If you put the folder under your home (~), then this problem will probably occurs. Try to give your home folder a wider permission. Especially read permission for Others.
sure, if you browse the localhost pure directory you need apache / server authentication
Check your server authentication credentials (user and pass) and this is normal!
while if you browse localhost/mysite you will need not an auth ;)
also be sure your localhost/myproject folder has 755 chmod permissions
finally check if in your localhost/myapp/ there is a .htpasswd file and post it here
I also encountered a similar problem and reinstalling chrome to older version, changing proxy setting didn't help.
I have started using other browsers, however i use the below workaround in case I need to work in chrome.
1.) Click on login without inserting any username and password .
2.) Click on (X) to close the window.
The window would disappear. However, it will reappear if you open any other site or window.

website in iis 7 not displaying to browser

I have a website written in HTML5 and have already added it to iis7. I checked to make sure that the path was correct, and both the path and the authentication are reported as being correct by iis. I have a personal DNS that I am using to host the site, and I have the website in IIS being hosted by that DNS. Whenever I go to browse to the site, internet explorer kicks back a page saying it could not connect to the page. It will not let me diagnose any connection problems. Any idea what could be going wrong and how I can fix it?
