Were you in the directory containing the packages when you did that?

>>>    2.- How can I access to url's like www.mysite.com:87?, In mozilla and epiphany included in FC4 & FC3 always appears a message telling me that the port 87 has been disabled for security reasons... And I couldn't find the setting to enable it.

What exact error message did you get (in full)?

What happens if you do:

$ curl -v http://www.mysite.com:87/
