Have you tried using the standard port? (8332)

I have.  Same results.  It binds to 127.0.0.1:8332 and does not bind to the external interface.

0.15 BTC bounty for the first user that solves my problem!

OS:    Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (VPS)

I followed the directions here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Enabling_SSL_on_original_client_daemon

my bitcoin.config:

Code:
daemon=1
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
rpcallow=
rpcport=11111
rpcssl=1

Though I'm not seeing bitcoin listening on any external interface.

Code:
~$ netstat -nap|grep bitcoind|grep LISTEN

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9333            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      12323/bitcoind
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:11111         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      12323/bitcoind
tcp6       0      0 :::9333                 :::*                    LISTEN      12323/bitcoind
tcp6       0      0 ::1:11111               :::*                    LISTEN      12323/bitcoind


Do I need to add something to iptables?

Is there something I'm missing here?
