Weird Issue with IIS and localhost / 127.0.0.1 browsing

[chrisjako]

Hi All,

 

I run windows 2012 R2 with IIS on our SQL server for active directory provisioning and I cannot get to http://sql1:120/sims.asmx when I try to browse locally on the SQL1 server - all I get is a page cannot be displayed error even when trying http://127.0.0.1:120/sims.asmx or http://localhost:120/sims.asmx. In my hosts file I do have 127.0.0.1 localhost uncommented

 

Tried IISresets and reboots to the server with no joy, removed our smoothwall from the equation with too

Can you get to the base IIS page? (Localhost wise)

 

(Not sure if this is new install or not so sorry if silly questions)

If so did you definitely install it on 120, and did you change the TCP port on the SQL install?

nope localhost doesn't work either bringing up the default IIS page, the port 120 is mapped to the site in IIS bindings - just been looking at my sharepoint server, localhost doesn't work on that either however the DNS name does http://sp1 which might be related

 

Its not a brand new setup, capita initial installed it in august and it did use to work but stopped back in November which is when I got a load of adprovising error logs
