[olug] Iptables opening port 8080

I am trying to setup iptables to allow connections on port 8080, for an
apache webserver, but I can't seem to get the rule I need correct.
I tried 
 
iptables -A INPUT --p tcp --destination-port 8080 -j ACCEPT
 
and Fedora is ok with that command, but it still doesn't seem to let
anything through.  Is that the correct command?
Are there other commands that I must run in addition to that?
 
If that is the wrong command and I should remove it, I can simply enter that
again but with a -D, correct?
 
 
 
Thanks,
Martin
