Logs Logs Logs. Read what the logs say. What does the error log and access log says. See if something else is using that port by the following command in terminal

Code:

netstat -an

Did you actually restarted the apache service?

As said about, use:
netstat -tapn | grep 8080
To check if your application... or another one is using that port.
