Well before you config tomcat, you need to bundle the cert & key into the keystore:
openssl pkcs12 -export -chain -CAfile gd_bundle.crt -in NAMEOFCERT.crt -inkey NAMEOFKEY.key -out keystore.tomcat -name tomcat -passout pass:TOMCATPASS
of course tomcat password is changeit by default.

then in conf/server.xml
<!-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 --> <Connector port="8443" maxThreads="200" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" keystoreType="PKCS12" keystoreFile="PATH/TO/keystore.tomcat" keystorePass="changeit" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"/>
then you can force your app to run only in ssl by adding this to web.xml within your app:
<security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>securedapp</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <user-data-constraint> <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> </user-data-constraint> </security-constraint>

Actually, the server just needed a reboot.

I'm not sure why, I assume maybe it was that I had uninstalled an older tomcat install then installed the new one?

But that's all it took for me.

So I have a gwt app that is composed of 4-5 modules.

So we developed a 'wrapper' app that handles login and passes parameters to each of the module apps (each in gwt/jsp) which display in an iframe. Each app can be accessed by clicking a tab at the top of the iframe.

So far we have 2 GWT modules done and one JSP one done. The JSP app and one of the GWT apps display fine in all browsers in the iframe. For some reason, the 2nd GWT app doesn't display at all, we get a blank screen. The iframe will display any straight html content (if we type "TEST" on the html page for example, it will show) and picks up the css fine... but the gwt content (javascripts / js) isn't displaying.

When right click the iframe, and select "view only this frame", it will display the app just fine.

I theorized it could be a path issue, but I am not sure that is the case since we do not actually set the paths... any hints or tips?

Firefox 3.5+ on mac and pc have this problem. ie 6+, safari and chrome all work fine.

Wow, that got rid of the error, so thank you for that!!

I still can't access the site at https://mysite.com:8443 though... hmm.

Here is catalina.out with that fix in place... any help is greatly appreciated!

Hmm... I was following the apache instructions here:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html

Under Edit the Tomcat Configuration File

Did I misread what is there? I'll try it now without the first statement, see what happens...

Cool, here it is (keystore pass changed for security)

Thanks!

Hi, yeah I tried that and the port frees up when tomcat is stopped. Only one instance of tomcat exists...

Hence why this is strange!

I'm really not sure where to go from here.

Most people had a genuine server port conflict, I took steps to see if that was my issue, and it is not.

So yes, it is an atypical question as far as I can see...

Unless I missed where someone checked for port conflict, found that not to be the issue, then resolved it in some other way??

Thanks!

I promise, this isn't a request for some hand holding / instructions on how to get and install a cert.

In fact I am well past that point, I generated the keystore.tomcat file, joined it with the cert bundle from godaddy, successfully configured server.xml to point to it and now get no errors on startup related to any of the ssl with ONE exception!

I get this error in catalina.out:

clearly it thinks there is a conflict on the port 8443. When I use various tools (netstat, nmap) to check the port, it shows it's being used by the PID for tomcat... and yet when i go to https://mywebsite:8443 it sits and loads till it times out.

When I go to http://mywebsite.com:8080 I do see the splash page.

So then I thought maybe there is a conflict with my webserver... so I shut the webserver down, restarted tomcat... no change. So then I thought maybe it didn't like me starting up on 8080 and 8443 at the same time? So I commented 8080 out, and restarted tomcat... No change (except 8080 doesnt work of course).

Any help??

To change the port, edit the server.xml file in /conf

for example:

you will see
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />

to change it to port 8090:

<Connector port="8090" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />

Also, when I do a
$ netstat -vatn

I get
tcp 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN

Does this mean the port is open or...?

so I did an nmap on localhost:

# nmap localhost Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2010-03-05 14:24 EST Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): Not shown: 1671 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http 199/tcp open smux 443/tcp open https 783/tcp open spamassassin 3306/tcp open mysql 10000/tcp open snet-sensor-mgmt
doesnt look like a port conflict to me. I even changed the port from 8080 to 8090, then to 8008, and no difference.

Hi All,

I have installed Tomcat at least a half dozen times on various RHEL5 boxes.

In the past I have literally just copied the tar.gz into /usr/share (where we keep all our instances, not /var/lib like i know many others do), unpacked it and then started it up (/bin/startup.sh).

It usually runs without a hitch, as-is and when i go to http://(MY.IP.ADDRESS):8080, I get the manager, and then can start dragging my applications into /webapps and be done with it.

Right now I have a very strange case on my hands. I did the above on a rhel5 server, and start it.

In terminal, it shows normal startup:
# ./startup.sh Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24 Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_07/ Using CLASSPATH: /usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24/bin/bootstrap.jar

and catalina.out shows

As you can see, no significant error (at least in my estimation) occurs. But when I go to 8080, it just sits loading until it times out.

Also, if i grep for it in the ps list I get

root 12971 1 99 14:30 pts/0 00:00:03 /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_07//bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24/conf/logging.properties -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24/endorsed -classpath /usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24/bin/bootstrap.jar -Dcatalina.base=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24 -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.24/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start root 12987 12290 0 14:30 pts/0 00:00:00 grep java

So it IS running as far as all indications would say.

Can someone give me a some tips or hints on where to look next?
