blank iis8 localhost page on windows 8 laptop

Good day,

I'm trying to install IIS on windows 8 laptop. When i type [http://localhost] it gives me a blank page. I can ping localhost and 127.0.0.1 and get replies and gmail developer tools give me a status of 200 OK. I have McAfee total protection installed and i disabled the firewall on it. I also disabled windows firewall. i just uninstalled Skype. I completely bypassed my router and connected straight from the modem. I restarted and nothing . Just want to get the default iis page up and running Nothing is working please assist.

In case HTTP Redirects doesn't work, check to see that Static Content is enabled as well.

Both of these were not enabled on my new Windows 8.1 > IIS 8.5 ...

Both can be enabled here:

Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows Features On/Off > IIS > WWW Services > Common HTTP Features

I enabled HTTP Redirects, still blank. Then I enabled Static Content and halleluah !
