Can't get mediawiki to work on port 8080

All,

I am trying to setup a wiki using mediawiki on a web server working off
port 8080. I go through the install script and when I submit the
information, I never get confirmation that install confirmed, just a blank
page and the browser reporting "done". No LocalSettings.php file is
created. I then run the script again and get the same blank page but the
LocalSettings.php is there. So, I copy it to the base directory and try
browsing to the wiki at http://www2.sweetwtaersea.com:8080/brownspedia/
and get a response error.

If I set my Apache to listen to port 80, and do the same install,
everything works fine. I've tried manually adding :8080 to the
wgScriptpath ($wgScritPath = :8080/brownspedia) and I get some funky
results if it works at all.

Any ideas on how I can get mediawiki to work using port 8080 on my Apache
server?

Thanks,

Steve

It's always worked fine for me when I've tested it. Can you please
provide more detail? The complete output from the installer script
would be a start. If you could provide the actual address it sends you
to that fails, that would be very helpful. (Check the HTTP headers. Use
Mozilla with the 'Live HTTP headers' extension if you can't find it
obviously.) Check what value of $wgServer is produced by
DefaultSettings.php. ($wgServer is the variable which should contain
the full protocol, hostname, and port.)

Brion,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I did look at the headers
and when I was trying to access
http://www2.sweetwatersea.com:8080/brownspedia, I was getting a 301 perm
moved response and it was pointing me to
http://www2.sweetwatersea.com/brownspedia.

I did some googling and from what I found, I just added a $wgServer line
to the LocalSettings.php (none there from the install) that has the
correct address and it works now.

Cheers,

Steve
