I've just solved issue about xampp and IIS running on the same  computer
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Web_Servers/Microsoft_IIS/Q_28487470.html

So far So good, when type "localhost" it will go to c:inetpubwwwrootiisstart.htm
Now I change   'applicationHosts.config file to change the document default path from
c:inetpubwwwroot to c:xampphtdocs and I copy iisstart.htm to c:xampphtdocs

Okay, now I go to type "localhost" it will go my external sites server that is not show iisstart.htm page.

But when I type "localhost/iisstart.htm" which is exactly at c:xampphtdosc that is working,
iisstart.htm is shown, and other typing is also working

type "localhost/iisstart.htm" it is also working
type "localhost?" it is also working
type "127.0.0.1" it is also working

but only both "localhost" and "localhost:80" not working

Now I go to check hosts file at c:windowsystem32driversetchosts in which there is nothing
information about host forwarding to the external site.

when type other file such as "localhost/data/php/index.html" that also works that is
matched to file at c:xampphtdocsdataphpindex.html

So the question, why it happen, who get the final right or owner for the name of "localhost" ?
localhost:8001 forwarding to my xampp web server   that works  as usual

I try to turn off xampp , it did NOT solve my issue

So I believe there is some conficit,  "localhost" can NOT resolve its final destination.

how to translate "localhost" to final IP on brwoser

Please advise

It's not the problem you found, since fixed.
localhost is defined in
c:windowssystem32driversetchosts
please review the content of that file.

What are your proxy settings?  Are they set to be configured automatically, as this mechanism can set other behaviours?
