I am confused why Apache is not responding on port 80 ... $ wget http://localhost:80 --2014-05-06 15:32:44-- http://localhost/ Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:80... failed: Connection refused. ... but instead on post 8080 ... $ wget http://localhost:8080 --2014-05-06 15:32:38-- http://localhost:8080/ Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:8080... connected.
