Make sure the "Port" directive is also set to 8080 in httpd.conf. Port 
is generally used for the 'primary' port, whereas Listen is used for 
virtual servers and the like. Setting Listen wont hurt but without a 
corresponding <VirtualHost> block it won't do much.

And dont forget to restart apache.
