Thanks for the consideration. It's really urgent. I would be grateful It anyone could help me. I am building a development environment, mirroring the live DNN website on my local machine. I copied all the app files from server and restored database backup files. When I try the run the site (http://localhost/dnnmysite), I am receiving following error on Firefox.

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

on Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
•Internet connectivity has been lost.
•The website is temporarily unavailable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
•There might be a typing error in the address.
•If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

 
Thanks,

Krishna.

did you make sure that your firewall is not blocking port 80?

Thanks for your reply. I forget to not notice on IE it's redirecting to https SSL. From link below I could be able to find some information and do changes in Tabs table.
