Some questions:

1) _Why_ do you want to use another port? You have to tell the clients
   anyway.
2) _How_ did you configure the other port? What is in your http_port
   directive?
3) Is there any other service running on the port you want to use? Try
   "nmap ip-of-your-server" to see if any service is running on that port.
4) Is there any information in the log files?

Regards,

Peter
