Dion, I am not doing the full combination you gave, but I *am* succeeding with my own app + SSL using Tomcat 3.2.1 in standalone mode (your problem #1). In my case, I am succeeding on AIX 4.3.3 with IBM's JDK 1.3 (and I'm failing on Linux, but that's another story, elsewhere in this mailing list). I am not using symlinks, so I can't speak to your exact circumstances. Have you tried restructuring your directories to be completely vanilla? A bit more complete details on your server.xml and directory/link structure would indeed be helpful to anyone trying to figure this out. I suspect you can expect a redirect anytime you ask for "foo" and expect to get "foo/index.html". Good luck, Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
