New Windows user having trouble with Apache and PHP

Windows/PHP Users, I'm new to PHP and I had a question about getting PHP and Apache set up on Windows. I've installed both PHP and Apache on my computer per the install instructions. I have successfully started the Apache server, after I changed the port from 80 to 8080. However, when I try to test my Apache/PHP by directing my browser to http://localhost/phpinfo.php I receive the following error: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost." I'm pretty sure that Apache is up and running, so I'm a little confused by this warning. Could it be a firewall setting on my computer or a configuration setting on my browser? I would really appreciate a place to start looking, or any ideas on where I can look to get this fixed. Thanks, The Sunburned Surveyor P.S. - I'm running Windows 2000 on a Dell Precision 530. Mozilla Firefox is my browser. I'm using the latest stable releases of both PHP and Apache.
