What OS are you on?

Things to check on *nix:
netstat -l .... to see if port 8080 is LISTENing ( I thought that 8180 was default? but I could be wrong )
ps -ef ... to see if tomcat is running
Check that $TOMCATHOME/conf/server.xml has the correct settings for that port and that it is not commented out

Things to check on M$:
netstat -a .... and look for port 8080
Task Manager -> Processes ..... look for tomcat process
Again check server.xml for settings..

Good Luck,
Laurie.

I had encountered the same problem. I used

http://127.0.0.1:8080

instead of

http://localhost:8080

and the problem is solved.
I dont know y is this peculiarity, when it was advised to use

http://localhost:8080

was not working.

(Mine is Windows XP).

Any advice is appreciated.

VJ,
it seems localhost is not resolved.
Check your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
It should content at least:

127.0.0.1 localhost
