No connection to localhost:3000

Solved

Hello,

I am currently testing different bug tracking software, and I am facing a problem:

I installed Wamp server to have a local server and installed Mantis.
So far, everything went well.

I then wanted to install Redmine (ruby on rails), and for that, I followed many tutorials (it was a long and tedious installation).
However, my browser (Firefox) cannot connect to the address localhost:3000.

When I access localhost, it works very well (the "it works" confirms it).

I read somewhere that it might be a firewall issue, so I disabled my firewall, but that didn't change anything.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Have a good day :)

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 6.0.2

    Hi,
    start by checking in netstat -a that the port is indeed listening on TCP

    and ... There you go!

    Hi!
    First of all, thank you for your quick response.
    I hadn't thought to check because it seemed obvious to me, but apparently the port is not listening on TCP.
    It's strange since I thought I had configured it that way by following the tutorials. However, being a newbie with Apache and all, I have no idea how to fix this issue :|

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!
    And have a good day!

      On which port is Apache currently configured?
      See httpd.conf the command listen xxxx

      It is set to port 80 since I needed it for other bug management software (Mantis, etc.). Maybe that's where the issue comes from?

      Have a nice day.

      well yes, if it's not listening on port 3000, it's not easy for you to connect to that port!
