Quick Question about port 8443 and Freebsd

A

Sorry if the title is a little confusing
My Spam Box is working
I am able to receive mail internally and externally no problems
however
if i try to go to
https://x.x.x.x:8443/viewer I get this error message
(Where x.x.x.x is my IP)
Code: 
Failed to Connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at x.x.x.x:8443. 

Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

    * Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites?  Check the computer's network connection.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

Anyone know what could be causing this problem?
I had this problem before I did a portupgrade -arR and it seemed to have fixed the problem but now I did it again and it is not fixing it.
 
Is there actually anything running on 8443? You can check with netstat -an and/or sockstat.

Firewall perhaps blocking the port (or the response)?
 
Are you behind a NAT'ing cable modem or DSL router with port-forwarding of public_ip:8443 to nat_ip:8443 behind the modem/router? In that case you may not be able to reach the website on its public IP address. Just a guess, don't know your network set-up.
 
well if i put my old freebsd 6.1 up it works i can access my viewer
when i put 7.2 i cant access it..i didnt really change anything as far as configuration is concerned..

I also have another 7.2 which is running on another domain and the viewer works fine so in order to eliminate the whole installation again what i did was i copied the whole VM onto an external drive I transfered it over to the other domain controller (which is a totally different domain) and just changed the IP in rc.conf

everything loads fine when i boot it up i get no errors nothing i can ping with no problems but i cant access the viewer..

i dont really see anything that says 8443 in sockstat or netstat
 
Then the application that's supposed to listen on port 8443 may not be running, or it should show up in [cmd=]sockstat -l4p 8443[/cmd].
 
Hmm..if I run sockstat -L4p 8443 I get

Code: 
USER  COMMAND  PID  FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FORIGN ADDRESS

and nothing under it..
apparently nothing is running...


my spambox has spamassassin---clamav--amavisd-new
i believe those are the main applications?
shouldnt it be apache that runs on 8443? (i could be wrong though)
 
I just checked on the 6.1 that is working
doing a sockstat -l4p 8443 gives this result

Well, you'll have to find out why Apache didn't start or why it is not running on port 8443..
