New installation... can't access port 8443

[thedust2010]

I just finished installing Plesk 8 on CentOS 4 according to the instructions... everything went great but I can't access the control panel via port 8443.

This is on a remote machine with no firewalls or other restrictions. I don't see any entry for 8443 in /etc/services, so it leaves me confused. Any thoughts?

This is very strange... I've verified that port 8443 is open and that the psa service is running... but I'm not getting a response back when I request the admin panel. When I visit the IP of my server on port 80, the default Plesk page comes up, but port 8443 gets no response back from the server.

Maybe something went wrong with the installation? It didn't throw any errors...

Oh man... I can't believe this but the reason I couldn't access was because I wasn't using https. Instead I was using http to attempt to access the control panel. Can't believe it was something so small... oh well, live and learn.

@kzumba: Do you have any firewall running? Iptables? If so, try to stop it for a short while and see if that helps. Dont forget to start it again...
