Hello all,

I just wanted to know the difference between http://localhost and http://localhost:8080.

Thank you.

Without a port number the request will go to port 80 (which is the default port for HTTP). So http://localhost/ is the same as http://localhost:80/

HTTP is a protocol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol), while httpd is the name of the most widely used web server (its full name being Apache httpd: http://httpd.apache.org/).

Maybe you're thinking of HTTPS (which is an encrypted version of HTTP), not httpd?
