Check that you got something listening to that port first.
$ fuser -n tcp 8080
8080/tcp: 3259

What is it that is listening to port 8080? Check use the PID found in
the above command. h flag suppresses header, w prints wide.
$ ps hw 3259
3259 pts/3 Sl+ 0:02 /home/virtualenv/tg2env/bin/python /home/virtualenv/tg2env/bin/paster serve development.ini

try telnet to 127.0.0.1 not the name first. If you get a connection type
"GET /" without the quotes.

Also, if you have a firewall check you're not blocking local
connections.

Oh another thing, and I've done this before. The browser has to be
running on the computer that paster is running. I've ssh'ed from my
laptop to my server to run paster and wondered why the laptops browser
doesn't work. All terminals look the same!

All those works fine. I can get the main page through telnet.

The problem is, I am building this demo site for a school project.

We have a gateway computer that we need to connect to and then remote connect to our virtual machine.

The tg2 site is running on the VM. When we ask for the localhost:8080 the gateway machine will forward the request to the VM. The VM is ubuntu server so I can't get a browser to work.

Somehow I can telnet and get a main page response but when I access through the gateway machine using a browser it's doesn't work.

Okay, your problem makes sense to me, but I'm not sure of a good fix
for it. You've described the problem well: Your environment must go
through a proxy, and the proxy uses its own localhost. You really
don't have many options, here.

1. You can find a way to get localhost added to an exclude list for the proxy.
2. You can edit your development.ini and put your machine's real IP
address in as the host. That would allow you to use
http://real.ip.address:8080/ in your browser, and get it to work.
3. Get a different environment to code in. Having to go through a
proxy to view files on localhost will make development very difficult.
