[SOLVED] : Firefox unable to open localhost

Hi,

I have an Arch installation with KDE DE. The hosts file has te following entries :

```
127.0.0.1  localhost
::1
127.0.0.1 myarch.localdomain myarch

```

I am able to ping 'localhost' as well '127.0.0.1' from konsole.

I have a flask application that starts a server on http://127.0.0.1:5000. When I try to reach this url in Firefox, it gives a 404 Not Found error. However, if I run another url http://127.0.0.1:5000/helloworld, it gives the expected result.

I have verified the flask application content and it looks to be more an issue on Arch.

Can you please help ?

Regards

Sachin

Hardly. You haven't defined an index page.
