How to deny access to Apache port when Nginx proxying

Question

I have installed Apache 2.2.17 and nginx 0.8.53 as load balancer (static for Nginx and PHP for Apache). Everything is working, but when I access mysite.com (default port 80) I get my webpage and can see HTTP headers of nginx server. When I access mysite.com:8080 I get the same page and see headers of Apache2. How can I disable or redirect port 8080 to main domain?

using CentOS 5. apache and nginx are compiled from their sources.

You could bind the service that uses 8080 (apache right?) to localhost instead of your actual IP. Check for "Listen" in httpd.conf/apache2.conf, and replace with "Bind localhost" and restart the service.
