I want to enable a localhost on Windows 7 to be able to build websites with Chrome without a distant server. I would like to not install anything, and be able to, for example, navigate to http://localhost/something/somethingElse/index.html.
Anyone knows how?

Worth noting: by default, Internet Information Services uses the contents of C:/inetpub/wwwroot for http://localhost/ , so if you don't want to mess with settings, just throw stuff in that folder.
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. In other words, when your computer requests the IP address 127.0.
In order to activate localhost server on Windows 7 navigate to:
-> Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off Then search for Internet Information Services and check its checkbox.
Wait for Windows to make the changes, no need for immediate restart, the server will be enabled.
You can now navigate to
127.0.0.1 or
http://localhost There is a simple chrome extension "200 OK". Which runs a web server on localhost.
