Why is my bitcoind daemon not listening on RPC port at 8332?
Two thoughts:


The wildcard syntax is not supported anymore. Instead of 192.168.*.*, use 192.168.0.0/16. Instead of 192.168.1.*, use 192.168.1.0/24.
As an additional debugging step, try running netstat -antlp | grep 8332. If that produces output like the following, that means that it is bound to the port.

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8332             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
