Re: why 8443?
your firewall defaults are broken, don't use them anymore if this 'firewall' inssts those are the 'defaults'. Course one can tell you no more becuase the info you gave is so sparse...

If you install under root, the pre-configured port _IS_ 443, of course. So, if you are an unpriviledged user, you have to use 8443 (or actually any other port >= 1024). If you have root priviledges, then feel free to adjust your server config and use 443. Ralf S.

why 8443?
Hi. A recent firewall installation at my junior college has broken SSL. In troubleshooting the problem, I noted that the default port for mod_ssl is 8443, and not the standard 443. When I did the original installation, I just accepted the defaults, and everything worked just fine. Now I'm being asked why we're not using the default port of 443. Can someone explain the differences and why 8443 is the default? Thanks!
