title: cannot connect to localhost after installing yosemite
body: <p>I am trying to connect to localhost and I am getting the following error on the browsers (chrome and ff and safari)</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Browsers connection attempt to localhost was rejected.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>i tried</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>telnet 127.0.0.1</p>
  <p>Trying 127.0.0.1...<br />
  telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused<br />
  telnet: Unable to connect to remote host</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>and</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Barry$ / : curl localhost</p>
  <p>curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 80: Connection refused</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>the <code>httpd.conf</code> is set to <code>LISTEN : 80</code></p>
  <p>However I can connect using thin on <code>localhost:3000</code> for a rails project</p>
  <p>I've looked at other similar Q's and answers but cannot find a fix.</p>
