server.xml doesn't have this element

[Hussein Baghdadi]

Hi all.
I have Tomcat 5.0.28 and I want to enbale SSL port.
the documentation says :
to enable SSL, uncomment <Connector port="8443"> in %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\server.xml file.
well, I checked this file, there is no such an element !
in the past when I have Tomcat 4 installed, yes, server.xml was had this element, but what about Tomcat 5 ???
thanks.

Hi John,

I could see this element in conf\server.xml of tomcat 5.0.28. The one which I downloaded was jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.zip.

  
    <!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
    <Connector port="8080"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
               debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" 
               disableUploadTimeout="true" />
    <!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value
     to 0 -->

I swear, there is no such an element, here is my whole server.xml :

  
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Server>
  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener"/>
  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener"/>
  <GlobalNamingResources>
    <Environment name="simpleValue" type="java.lang.Integer" value="30"/>
    <Resource auth="Container" description="User database that can be updated and saved" name="UserDatabase" type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"/>
    <ResourceParams name="UserDatabase">
      <parameter>
        <name>factory</name>
        <value>org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory</value>
      </parameter>
      <parameter>
        <name>pathname</name>
        <value>conf/tomcat-users.xml</value>
      </parameter>
    </ResourceParams>
  </GlobalNamingResources>
  <Service name="Catalina">
    <Connector acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" port="8080" redirectPort="8443" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25">
    </Connector>
    <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" protocolHandlerClassName="org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler" redirectPort="8443">
    </Connector>
    <Engine defaultHost="localhost" name="Catalina">
      <Host appBase="webapps" name="localhost">
        <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="localhost_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
      </Host>
      <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="catalina_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"/>
    </Engine>
  </Service>
</Server>

I believe you, truly. But I've no idea why your server.xml lack of this info. How about you re-download jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.zip?

[Ben Souther]

It looks like someone set your server up using the server-minimal.xml file.
They would have renamed server-minimal.xml to 'server.xml' overwriting the original.

Just download another copy of Tomcat, copy the relevent section from server.xml, and paste it into your server.xml file.
