there are probably two places in the httpd.conf file (not config)
where you need to change the path.
if you use vhosts that will be different.
did you restart apache after the change?
on a separate issue, when you say "i changed the port to 8080" do you
mean set apache to listen on 8080 rather than 80, do you need the
process that is already binding to port 80 (probably iis) to be there,
if not, kill it, and set apache to
Listen *:80
i'm not totally convinced that you are visiting the right server from
your post
http://localhost:8080 rather than http://localhost
which would mean your errors would be coming from the wrong server, no
amount of config twwaking will help there!
