Cannot open confluence using port 8443 using SSL

[Andrew Balmer]

Hello, 

I have recently installed Confluence and I am trying to access via port 8443 using SSL certificate and it seems to not access the base URL. 

This is my connection string in F:\Confluence\conf\server.xml location 

<Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocols="TLS" SSLEnabled="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" keystorePass=""
keystoreFile="F:\Confluence\conf\Confluence_Keystore.keystore"/>

I can access my base URL using port 8090 and localhost:8090 but not on 8443.

When doing 'netstat -ano' I cannot see port 8443 being advertised, however Confluence service is running 

Could someone help me what could be the issue here?

What is the format of the keystore?
Is it in PKCS12 format?
Then also enter: keystoreType = "PKCS12"

Are there any error messages in the atlassian-confluence.log?
