• Go to the Network Tab
• Click "Port Forwarding"
• Click the Green plus icon to the right of the table
• Type in a new table line with the host port being 8080 and guest port being 80.
• Leave everything else blank!
• Hit tab, then click "ok" (if it doesn't work on the first time click "ok" again).
• You're good to go!
