443 is the right port.
Do you have something already running on the same box on that port?
That might prevent things from installing and running.

Please try on a clean machine or VM.
Also more logs will be helpful.
Please see this [1] on how to troubleshoot.

The second problem is most likely an artifact of the incomplete install.
