Could not connect to host 127.0.0.1 (port 8080).

[Phil Pinkerton]

It seems like a simple problem but for the life of me I cannot remember 
how to fix it.

I installed Oracle-XE the DB is running but port 8080 is not active.



configuration Steps taken:

Specify the HTTP port that will be used for Oracle Application Express [8080]:*<enter>*

Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]:*<enter>*

Specify a password to be used for database accounts.  Note that the same
password will be used for SYS and SYSTEM.  Oracle recommends the use of
different passwords for each database account.  This can be done after
initial configuration:*password*
Confirm the password:*password*

Do you want Oracle Database 10g Express Edition to be started on boot (y/n) [y]:*<enter>*

Starting Oracle Net Listener...Done
Configuring Database...Done

To access the Database Home Page go to "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex"
