New Post: localhost does not work but 127.0.0.1 does

Hi Steve & BSalita,

Thank you for your responses.

I had already read the posts and have 127.0.0.1 working (with admin privileges): it's localhost I cannot get working but after re-reading I think I understand.

So just to clarify, to get localhost working, I don't need admin privileges at run time, but I need to add a URL HTTP Namespace reservation during program installation, and register at runtime in the application code.

One thing I don't understand, is that localhost still doesn't work even with admin privileges, whereas 127.0.0.1 does, without any URL HTTP Namespace reservation. Is the namespace reservation required because DNS is used for localhost and not for 127.0.0.1?

This is all quite new to me...

Thanks,

Andy
