localhost not working

I have Windows 8.1

When i type "localhost" on the web browser (i am using Chrome), it opens up the IIS blue colored home page. However, I have an application pointed to 127.0.0.1 which is localhost at port 8080. When I type in the Chrome browser: "localhost:8080" then it shows page not available. I even tried installing the WAMP server and could not run localhost on it. Same was the case with PHP /Linux. There is a big problem with the localhost on my system. Please help me out
