I have been trying to self use my self signed TLS certificate (a .pem file) with Hiawatha
but currently when I follow the information on this webpage: https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/howto/bindings
Hiawatha dose not seem to be hosting anything at port 443 as when I run
netstat -tlpn i see nothing running at port 443

here is my bind function in my config file

Binding {
         Port = 443
         TLScertFile = /home/tom/keys/tls.pem
}

any help appreciated thanks in advanced!

Is the port open at the router?

no but that should not matter as when i run netstat -tlpn
nothing is running on port 443 anyway

Update:
I have now started generating my pem file using the instructions here:
https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/forum/topic/2214

and now when I run hiawatha i get this error:
Error loading private key from /home/tom/keys/serverkey.pem: PK - Invalid key tag or value : ASN1 - ASN1 tag was of an unexpected value (-0x3D62)

Content of .pem file in Hiawatha is combine of .key, .crt and .ca files.
