Paul, The protocol "https" is hard-wired to port 443. Using port 8443 as you have done works, but only with the hardcoded port number in the URL, as you have found out. To make Tomcat SSL work using "https", you must modify the SSL port used - in server.xml. Change 8443 to 443 and restart Tomcat.
Also, if you want others to access your machine, change port 8080 to port 80 in server.xml. This will allow them to access static web pages using just "http". However, if you have another web server (i.e. IIS) running on port 80, you will have to decide if Tomcat gets port 80 (shut off IIS) or if they coexist. There is assistance here and in the Tomcat FAQs if you want to run both IIS and Tomcat. Cheers, -RIchard ====================================== From: Paul Ferguson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have been trying to get SSL to work with tomcat 3.2.3 on Windows NT. I've followed the steps on differenet web sites and I now have the server configured so that it works with the URL http://localhost:8080/index.html as well as https://localhost:8443/index.html (for the SSL). But when using the https prefix I cannot get the web page to display if I put the IP address in instead of localhost and so cannot view it from another computer.Any ideas??? ======================================= -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
