RHEL 8 Network install fails

1. Installation tree copied to /var/www/html/rhel8-install/ as outlined in the KB. Then restorecon -rv /var/www/html to ensure all security contexts were restored. Verified all are httpd_sys_content_t
2. opened port 80 and added http service in firewall
3. started httpd service and tried restart again.

Using virt-install all files are available from local network along with kickstart file in /var/www/html/ks.cfg.

[root@rhel8 Downloads]# virt-install --name tester --disk size=20 --memory 4096 --noautoconsole --wait=-1 --location "http://172.16.247.108/rhel8-install" --extra-args "ks=http://172.16.247.108/ks.cfg"
When installation begins:
Reached basic target system: (then)
"...anaconda failed to fetch kickstart from http://172.16.247.108/*' failed!
"0curl: (7) Failed to connect to 172.16.247.108 port 80: Connection refused

--------- Or without the kickstart file (--extra-args): ---------
[root@rhel8 Downloads]# virt-install --name tester --disk size=20 --memory 4096 --noautoconsole --wait=-1 --location "http://172.16.247.108/rhel8-install" :

"Warning: Downloading 'http://172.16.247.108/*' failed!
"0curl: (7) Failed to connect to 172.16.247.108 port 80: Connection refused

[root@rhel8 Downloads]# virt-install --name tester --disk size=20 --memory 4096 --noautoconsole --wait=-1 --location "http://172.16.247.108/rhel8-install" --extra-args "ks=http://172.16.247.108/ks.cfg"

I attached audit.log(txt), message.log(txt) and httpd_access.log(txt), but hopefully there is not any critical info i shared?
