The cap should be as close as possible to the ESP8266. Where and when did you get them? (wondering if they have the right firmware version - there are multiple mutually incompatible firmwares for the ESP8266)
What we meant is whether you had the wires reversed, not the pin numbers in the code. I can't tell you how many times I've been certain I had TX/RX or SCL/SDA right, then reversed the connector, and found that I had them backwards.
Usually what I see is the red light coming on, with no activity from the blue light until I start communicating with the ESP8266.
