Using ‘localhost’ was not working for a lot of people.
I don’t know why it was failing and it’s not failing for me, but using the IPv4 IP made it work, and that is why we changed the documentation. Since then, only you and Brian have reported issues (with ‘127.0.0.1’) and in both cases it sounds like the reason is lack of IPv4 (in Brian’s case it was disabled via an SSH setting).
