I moved countries and had trouble using localhost. I had some help but that did not work but I finally got localhost to work but my phpadmin still gives problems as firefox looks for localhost:8080/url instead of localhost/url.

localhost is on pert 80.

can anyone direct my efforts. I think my "help" tried to reconfigure all my localhost to 8080 nad left some of these port directives in.

Maybe check the connection settings.

You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
