did you checked if application pool/iis is not stopped? – C. Marius Sep 19 '12 at 12:11
Checked that the pool is actually running in IIS? :) Aslo try clicking "browse" from the application pool overview in IIS – eirikb Sep 19 '12 at 12:11

Since you re-installed SharePoint, you can try and see if the port number for central admin is still the same by running:

Get-SPWebApplication -IncludeCentralAdministration

in SP2010 Management Shell.

You should also check in IIS to make sure that Central Admin is pointing to the right Physical path (ie. virtual directory folder). It is in the advanced settings in IIS for the site.

Renaming a computer with Sharepoint on is never a good idea and even though you renamed it back I suspect a SID is stored somewhere in your config database.

Anyways, running through the Sharepoint Products and Technologies wizard should sort out your problem. I hope you saved your farm pass phrase because this is where you will need it.

I suggest you create your central admin site on a new port.

MSDN has an article about renaming your server for a stand-alone installation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261986(v=office.14).aspx

Basically, after you have renamed the server, run in PowerShell:

Rename-SPServer

Pass the new server name in as a parameter.

Make sure you do iisreset /noforce as well.

with a port number of 8080 I'm wondering it's possible that there is a conflict? As mentioned earlier a different port number would be a good start

You probably need to reprovision Central Admin. You can just run a standard repair and reprovision Central Admin in place (you will get asked if you want to change central admin server. Don't). Should solve the problem.
