Access http://localhost:8080 or https://127.0.0.1:8080/ to check whether the localhost is working.
How do I know if localhost is working?
For example, you can easily open the command prompt or the terminal and enter “ping localhost” or “ping 127.0. 0.1”. The localhost test will show how well everything performs, from the number of data packets received, sent, or lost, to how long the data transmission takes.
How do I access my localhost?
Usually, you can access the localhost of any computer through the loopback address 127.0. 0.1. By default, this IP address references a server running on the current device.
How do I find my localhost IP?
First, click on your Start Menu and type cmd in the search box and press enter. A black and white window will open where you will type ipconfig /all and press enter. There is a space between the command ipconfig and the switch of /all. Your ip address will be the IPv4 address.
