can not curl port 80 on localhost

when I do

curl localhost:80

it returns

404 Not Found

However, I can access port 8800 successfully:

curl localhost:8800

which returns a huge size of info...

Originally, port 80 was closed and not listened, so I have done

ufw allow 80/tcp

to open port 80, then added

Listen 80

in

/etc/apache2/ports.conf

and restarted apache2 to listen on port 80.

Now with

nmap -p 80 localhost

it shows

PORT STATE SERVICE

80/tcp open http

and

netstat -lnp | grep 80

gives:

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 980/mysqld

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9723/apache2

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8800 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9723/apache2

udp6 0 0 fe80::a00:27ff:fee6:123 :::* 1358/ntpd

unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 8526 980/mysqld /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 9080 1316/master public/flush

What else should I do to make localhost:80 reachable by curl?

Thanks!

curlport
Also, I have disabled iptables as follows: iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT, iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT, iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT, iptables -F - hookch

Finally I solved my problem with the help from this page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html

As I found port 8800 were set as VirtualHost, in /etc/apache2/sites-available/, then I did the same for port 80. And Now with "curl localhost:80" I can fetch the webpage!
