Localhost not working

My localhost says (in chrome) that localhost refused the connection and will not let me see anything on it.

Open up the console (ctl + j), refresh the page, what is logged in the console?

I have chrome and ctl+j opens downloads, how do you open the console on chrome (I've done it before but I forgot). Do you mean task manager?

My bad, it's ctrl + shift + j. That'll open up developer tools, normally the console tab is active by default when opened. The other way is by going to settings (top right in chrome) -> more tools -> developer tools.

Also in developer tools, you can check the "network" tab to see the status of your different files (500, 404, 200 etc..)

Hope that helps!
