Oracle's HTTP server isn't responding.

I installed Oracle XE on Fedora 6 machine with oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm. And I also installed the exact same RPM on a CentOS 4.3 machine.
The installation was fine and I followed instructions to configure the HTTP port to be the default one, 8080. Both installations asked me "To access the Database Home Page go to "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex".
But I can do so on the CentOS machine, but can not access the web page on Fedora 6 machine.
I got this error message instead (on firefox browser):
Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080.
The internet connection is fine and so is the browser. (I am using firefox, but I also tested it with opera).
I then tried to connect to port 8080 manually by using command "telnet 127.0.0.1 8080". but got this error:
[Monet shared]$ telnet 127.0.0.1 8080
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
So my conclusion is: For some reason, Oracle 10g XE's http server doesn't want to run on Fedora 6 machine.
Is this fixable? Or did I do something wrong??
Oh and I stopped apache on Fedora 6 machine. So there is not port conflict between Apache and Oracle's HTTP server.
