yet another home page connection error

568056Mar 20 2007 — edited Aug 3 2007
Hi,

I'm having trouble connecting to the Home Page.
The error seems to be one that has popped up a few times on this forum:

Unable to connect
Iceweasel can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Iceweasel is permitted to access the Web.

I've been browsing for a solution and didnt find one, but I did try a few things, maybe
they will help with diagnosing the problem:
netstat -an | grep "LISTEN"

As you can see, I can connect to the database fine via sqlplus, but theres definatley some problems.
What I dont understand is that after I installed the database the home page was working fine.
I don't know what changed.
Anyways, any ideas??

Thanks,
david
