It means no service is running on port 8080 , make sure your service is up and running properly and available

Sorry, I do have this same challenge and this answer didn’t really change anything for me. I am running a spring boot application and my service is running perfectly saying “Tomcat initialized with port(s): 8080 (HTTP)” however postman still gives me the same error

PLEASE Just curious to know if you have gotten a solution to it yet.

how do i get a service to be running then?

Just leave your localhost:8080 running. In other words, do not close your port (your app).
