Make a new web app, make it the default one too.
I was trying to re-create the default sharepoint web app usually on port 80, but i must have deleted it incorrectly or something, because no matter what i did, i could not get a new web app to default to port 80.
So after making sure the web app was deleted I created another one on a random port. Then i went into IIS manager and changed the port binding of the new web app to port 80 and VOILA it works!
