Can't connect to localhost 8080 for Wordpress96344336

[[email protected]]

Hi,
I am having a very difficult time connecting to localhost 8080. I am on an Imac and used binami to d/l wordpress. I got it all set and running. Used the program just fine for one day.

Next day after turning off my computer and restarting it, I keep getting the message:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080.

Here is how I am logging in: http://localhost:8080/wordpress/wp-admin.php

I have been all over the firefox forums and done what was sugggested there. They even say that this problem has been fixed. I tried calling Apple and they suggested I go to my wireless company. I've left messages on the bitnami site and on wp.org forums. Nothing....... no one can help.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Thank YOU!
Amy
