localhost can't be reached

Question

_{Friday, August 9, 2019 4:18 PM}

Hi All.

In my Windows 10 Enterprise PC I setup IIS and create first web application project. When VS 2017 created solution I clicked IIS Express button to open localhost site. But unfortunately got such message in the Chrome browser:

In Chrome in flag:
chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost I set up Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost. like Enabled.

I don't have problem to open localhost when I selected IE or Edge. How to fix the problem?

Thanks.

Hi zleug,

Sorry for delay in reply.

From your description, the localhost site seems to be wrong, it should be like "https://localhost:44340/xx.aspx".

Please try to set "IIS express(Google Chrome)", then rebuild this project, and try to debug it again.

If it persists, please try to press "Start without debugging" under Debug menu.

BTW, if you have other issue about IIS, we recommend you could redirect to IIS forum for dedicate support.

Any feedback will be expected.

Best Regards,

Dylan

That is exactly like when I set on the my computer Google Chrome and click on IIS Express button I got the message that I first time posted. When set Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge I don't have the problem to open localhost site.

Hi zleug,

Thank you for reply.

Please have a try to below steps:

-open "chrome://net-internals/#dns", clear the dns cache

-open "chrome://net-internals/#hsts", under "Delete domain security policies", type "localhost", then click delete

If it persists, we recommend you could redirect to stack overflow with google-chrome tag, since our forum is discussing about usage tool for VS IDE, and it seems to be beyond our support, you could get better support there.

Thank you for understanding.

Best Regards,

Dylan

Hi zleug,

It seems that there is a problem in your Google Chrome since IE and Edge does work. Did you install some other google extensions? 

>>In addition to Dylan's suggestions, we recommend that you delete the cache and cookies of the web browser or check with a different one.

Or if you are using any antivirus, please disable it for a while for testing purpose.
