Try to wrap your lines at about 80 characters like the rest of the world
does.  The text above is hard to read.

Better, isn't it?

Anyway.  What does 'telnet localhost 8080' do?

What does 'netstat -an | grep LISTEN' show?  What does 'sockstat'
show?  Have you put anything special in your Apache config files that is
different to the default?
