Thanks everyone! I tried all your suggestions and the one that sort-of worked was "http://127.0.0.1:8080";. (The other urls just gave the same error page.)
The funny thing is that 127.0.0.1 didn't give me the xwiki page, it gave me the page of *another* wiki that I'm simultaneously evaluating (also on port 8080). My bad! No wonder XWiki wasn't running. I uninstalled the other wiki and now the XWiki page comes up just fine.
