Apache SSl with mod_jk

[Shannon Scott]

Hello,
I have set up the apache webserver do ssl and it works well, but the .jsp files are 
not found even though they are in the same directory.
www.domain.com/ssl/index.html     works
www.domain.com/ssl/index.jsp       doesn't work

My httpd.conf has the following:
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ErrorLog logs/ssl_error_log
TransferLog logs/ssl_access_log
Alias /ssl /var/tomcat4/webapps/ROOT/ssl
  
    JkMount /ssl/servlet/* ajp13
    JkMount /ssl/*.jsp ajp13

SSL stuff...
</VirtualHost>

I have noticed that nmap shows the following line:
8009/tcp   open        ajp13

And in the server.xml I have defined the connectors like this:
     <!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
     <Connector className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.Ajp13Connector" 
             port="8009" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="150"
             redirectPort="8543" acceptCount="10" debug="0" 
             connectionTimeout="0"/>

     <!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8543 -->
    <Connector className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.Ajp13Connector" 
               port="8543" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="150"
               enableLookups="true" acceptCount="10" 
                     debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true" connectionTimeout="0"/>


Do I need to open the 8543 port on the server for https?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
