I am having trouble accessing localhost through 

http://localhost 
and 
http://127.0.0.1

But i can access both when i use https. 

 https://localhost

Why do you think this is? The web server is Tomcat 7.0.25.

Thanks.

When you use http:// to connect to the server, unless otherwise stated as part of the url your browser will assume port 80.

When you use https:// to connect to the server, unless otherwise stated your browser will assume port 443.

You can connect on port 443 but not on port 80.

  • You have not configured your service to listen on port 80. ✔
  • You have not configured a proxy for port 80 to your service.
  • There is a firewall blocking port 80
  • There is something else.

  • Thanks it was because my tomcats configuration was changed to use a different port number than 80, changing it back has solved it. – JCS Mar 06 '13 at 10:31
