I actually tried netscape 4.7 to access the welcome page of Tomcat on port 8443 and netscape gave me a better message than iexplorer6 (which printed ). It said the document contained no data.Try again later or contact the server's administrator. Any ideas what I am missing from the server.xml file? -----Original Message----- From: brana02 Sent: Wed 11/20/2002 10:34 AM To: Tomcat Users List Cc: Subject: RE: SSL keystore problem I'd like to thank all of you for helping me out, I got tomcat configured with the SSL and keystore and it doesnt crash on startup anymore. However....... When I go to view the welcome page on port 8443 which is what I specified, using IE 6 I only see these 5 characters on a white page (). Whats going on here?? -----Original Message----- From: Bodycombe, Andrew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wed 11/20/2002 9:35 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List ' Cc: Subject: RE: SSL keystore problem No problem. If you're using UNIX or LINUX, type the following at the command line: export CATALINA_OPTS="-Djavax.net.ssl.keystore=<the keystore filename>" If you're on Windows (this process may vary for different versions of Windows...) Go to the control panel, and double-click the "System" icon. Go to the "Advanced" tab, and press the "Environment Variables" button Set up a new environment variable called CATALINA_OPTS and set it to the required value. Now restart tomcat and the new value will take effect. -----Original Message----- From: brana02 To: Tomcat Users List Sent: 20/11/2002 13:32 Subject: RE: SSL keystore problem I am really not familiar with where to add that line and under what conditions in the catalina.bat file, could you be a little more specific thanks -----Original Message----- From: Bodycombe, Andrew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wed 11/20/2002 8:18 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List ' Cc: Subject: RE: SSL keystore problem You can tell tomcat to look in a different location at startup by specifying the following value in your CATALINA_OPTS variable: "-Djavax.net.ssl.keystore=<the keystore filename>" Andy -----Original Message----- From: brana02 To: Tomcat Users List Sent: 20/11/2002 13:03 Subject: RE: SSL keystore problem Do you know how to specify a different location?

If SSL Connector is called, it looks in the home directory for the keystore. -----Original Message----- From: brana02 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Mittwoch, 20.

November 2002 13:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SSL keystore problem I had tried playing around with the SSL connector and deleted a keystore when i was done. I thought Tomcat would stop trying to load it. For some reason it keeps trying to find the file from the path where it previously was and throws a FileNotFoundException. Where is it getting the path information from and how can i reset it to the default. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
