No, default is the standard port 80

Uh, a bit of missing info here --
What version of Apache, what error? Can you see that the httpd
process actually started up?
Have you run `apache -t` and `apache -S` to check your httpd.conf?
And, not knowing what Linux distro you're running, I'd still guess
you need to explicitly allow access to port 8080 through iptables.
A little scattershot, but HTH! :-)
