In order to make        http   localhost 8080   work  tomcat has to be started first  You can check server xml file in conf folder for the port information  You can search if tomcat is installed on your machine  Just go to start and then type tomcat  If it is installed it will give you the directory where it is installed  Then you can select that path and run it from command prompt  Example if tomcat is installed in C  Programfile tomcat  You need to set this path in command prompt go to bin folder and startup  Example  C  Programfile tomcat bin startup  Else you can also run it by directly going to the path and run startup batch file

In case of Windows in my case XP  -   Check the directory where tomcat is installed  Open the directory called  conf in it  Then search file server xml Open that file and check what is the connector port for HTTP whre you will found something like 8009 8080 etc  Suppose it found 8009 use that port as   localhost 8009   in your web-browser with HTTP protocol  Hope this will work
