localhost:8080 is a traditional address to run development instances of web services (on developer's machines).

SailfshOS SDK takes over this port for private, internal communications channel to connect build machine infrastructure. Please move this communications channel to less commonly used port than 8080, which is traditionally at machine user disposal.

I had issues with this port too, as some National Instruments thingy also uses this port (even for non-web service), and MerSDK could not use it.

(I typically use these SDK tool pages over regular browser, instead of QtCreator, ie http://127.0.0.1:8080/C/harbour_tools/ )

The localhost port 8080 is used only for the Mersdk web configuration (the SailfishOS button in the QtCreator). We can make this changeable from the QtCreator options in the future, but for the time being you can "easily" modify it by following these steps:

Open Virtualbox Manager
Go to "MerSDK" virtual machine settings
On the Network page select Adapter 1 and click Port Forwarding
In the Port Forwarding Rules change the "guestwww" host port to one of your liking

(Optional - Change the web ui port in QtCreator):

Open the "mersdk.xml" from the QtCreator user config directory (Linux/Mac: "~/.config/SailfishBeta4/qtcreator/mersdk.xml") in a text editor
Change the value of the "WwwPort" key to the one you configured in step 4
Save the xml file and restart QtCreator

Please change 8080 port number in the next SDK release.As we all know,localhost:8080 is a traditional address to run development instances of web services.
