IIS - Localhost not working - Windows 7 Home Premium

Question

Please help me and I have spent lot of time on this (uninstalled & installed IIS several times) & got frustrated.

I have installed IIS in windows 7 home premium but when I browse http://localhost nothing is coming. I mean initially it says "Diagnose Connection problem" then I created the folder wwwroot manually under c:\inetpub and reinstalled again then it copied the iis home page files to wwwroot folder. Now it displays blank page.

I don't have any clue on what to do... So, please help me to resolve this.

Also, I have tried everything (i.e. http://localhost:80, http://127.0.0.1 & etc...) but nothing works.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

A shot in the dark...

Make sure there is a default website under the sites folder in the IIS console
