Can't Access Plesk

I just finished installing Plesk on CentOS 5, Linux, however, I can't access the Plesk page IP:8443, it just doesn't work.

When I try and visit just the IP that doesn't work either.

Code:
The server at * is taking too long to respond.

However, I thought maybe that Plesk wasn't started yet so I ran the command /etc/init.d/psa start, and this is what I got:
Code:
Starting xinetd service...                                           done
Starting named service...                                            done
Starting mysqld service...                                           done
Starting postgresql service...                                       not installed
Starting psa-spamassassin service...                                 not installed
Plesk: Starting Mail Server... already started
Starting mail handlers tmpfs storage
Starting Plesk...                                                    done
Starting drwebd service...                                           not installed

I did the following to see if the server can access the port:
Code:
telnet localhost 8443
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).

Everything looks right too me...
 
Hello

It can be firewall issue - port 8443 could be blocked from the server's side.
Execute
iptables -L
to view all firewall rules.
To test whether it is the problem try to stop firewall:
/etc/init.d/iptables stop
and try to access Plesk again.
