Apache / PHP Unable to communicate with Tomcat JavaBridge

Question

My project uses PHP JavaBridge, I have installed WAMP, JRE 6.0, and Tomcat 6.0.32 I can now access http://localhost:8080/ successfully but when I run my PHP site it gives me the following error

warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to localhost:8080 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. )

Can anyone please help me with this issue?

EDIT

Forgot to mention that I am using Windows 7

My comment above worked as a solution and hence this answer, so that in future others get it.

Can you 127.0.0.1:8080 instead of localhost:8080? See what do you get?

fsocketopen takes the hostname and it should be a valid domain, in your case, (in general) it could be a valid domain as long as you have an entry for localhost in your hosts file (C:\\Windows\\System 32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts) . See if you have something similar to that.
