title: webmatrix unable to connect to localhost:port
body: <p>No idea what's happened here - I've been using Webmatrix to build a wordpress site - everything has been going nicely. Powered off the machine last night, now today am unable to run the site. </p>
  
  <p>Firefox gives me this error - </p>
  
  <pre><code>Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:portnumber.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried running other sites from Webmatrix, no joy. Uninstalled xampp. Windows firewall is off, Norton firewall has the appropriate exceptions. </p>
  
  <p>Where has localhost gone? Anyone?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: reinstalled Webmatrix, no change. Reinstalling MySQL atm, will see if that helps.
  EDIT: nup. Clean install of Webmatrix, MySQL and wordpress makes no difference.</p>
