RE: Mod_SSL+Tomcat

[Cliff Woolley]

Okay, definite problems here.  First, your Include line     Include /usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/conf/tomcat.conf comes outside of the <VirtualHost></VirtualHost> section.  That would be okay, except that tomcat.conf contains lines that you want specific to a particular vhost.  In particular:    ApJServMount default /root    ApJServMount ajpv12://ipaddressofmylinuxbox:443/examples The ApJServMount command defines a location within the namespace of a virtual host... you want these lines to be inside your SSL vhost's <VirtualHost></VirtualHost> section.   Second, ApJServMount default /root is, I'm guessing, incorrect.  There should generally be a leading / on the first argument (like /default in this case).  But do you really even want that line at all?  Probably not.  The second ApJServMount line is *definitely* wrong.  First of all, you're missing the first argument (the partial URL to mount onto).  Second, your Tomcat server is definitely *not* running on port 443.   I'm hoping that you just omitted the SSLEngine on directive?   In any case, your problems are not SSL related, they're Tomcat related.  Read up on the documentation at http://jakarta.apache.org/ and http://java.apache.org/ .  If you continue to have problems configuring Tomcat correctly, check the FAQs and mailing lists which are listed at those web sites for assistance.   Hope this helps.   --Cliff     Cliff Woolley Central Systems Software Administrator Washington and Lee University http://www.wlu.edu/~jwoolley/   Work: (540) 463-8089 Pager: (540) 462-2303 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/07/00 12:45PM >>> Thanks for the information, however, for some reason, the httpd.conf file scoffs at the <Location> tag giving me an Invalid Command error and also suggesting that it is either mis-spelled or defined by a module that isn't included in the server configuration. httpd.conf (virtual host section) <VirtualHost mydomain:443> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/ROOT (I recently changed to the ROOT app to see if I could get to the JSP and Servlet examples this way, but no dice.. am I going to have to mount /examples in this document root as well?  Incidentally, this seems to successfully place most of Tomcat behind SSL) ServerName yadda.yadda.com ErrorLog yadda/yadda.log TransferLog yadda/yadda.log SSLCertificationFile /yadda/yadda/snake-oil-cert SSLCertificationKeyFile /yadda/yadda/snake-oil-key </VirtualHost> Include /usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/conf/tomcat.conf <IfModule mod_jserv.c> ApJServLogFile DISABLED Include /etc/jserv/jserv.conf </IfModule> Now.. for the Tomcat.conf file....
