I updated the Server software in 10.9.5 but it made no difference. The only service I have running is File Sharing.
I should note that I have had this working on this machine sometime in the past (though it may have been a couple of months ago)
If I try to access the app from another machine, I still get the same error - so it’s not the browser but something in the server / TCP/IP stack chain.
The firewall is off.
If I enable web services in the Server app I can get a page from port 80.
I just found that if I move the debug port form 8080 to 8082 then it works… but I can’t find what might be conflicting with port 8080…
any idea how I can find what is using that port?
Should I see an error/ exception somewhere in the app if it can’t open port 8080?
Turns out in was the Phone Amego app which talks to my desk phone on port 8080.
So…
8080 is a pretty common alternate web port. Perhaps debugging shouldn’t use it as well?
Perhaps more important… how can I tell when this happens? Should the IDE warn me that the port is in use? Did an event fire in the app that I didn’t catch?

Nice to see you found it and that it really was, as Greg said, “something else”
its quite possible that the port in use can be detected & reported
Here the app just fails to start in debug mode when the port is already used
