How to configure tomcat - 8080 for HTTP & 8181 for HTTPS

[Robert Jack]

Hi,

I deploy sample.war in my tomcat6.0.

I want to access

http://localhost:8080/sample/

https://localhost:8181/sample/

Is possible? if possible, how can i change my configuration?

This is my ../tomcat/conf/server.xml

....
...

<Connector port="8080"
                  protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
                 connectionTimeout="20000" 
                 redirectPort="8443" />
..
..

Help me.
Thanks in advance

Port 8080 is the default setting for HTTP with Tomcat. For HTTPS, the default setting is 8443, corresponding to the HTTPS default port of 443. So to use 8181 instead, just change the "8443"s in the Tomcat server.xml to "8181"s.

Of course you also have to setup the keystore in the usual way before you can do HTTPS at all, but that's a different matter.

Now modified my tomcat/conf/server.xml.
i got the following message in my browser when i try https://localhost:8181/
'Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8181."

<Connector acceptCount="100"           
           compression="300" 
		   connectionTimeout="20000" 		 
		   enableLookups="false" 
		   maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" 		  
		   port="8080" 
		   protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
		   redirectPort="8181"   
		   />

Have you restarted Tomcat after making this change and doing everything else outlined in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html ?
