        Not really, but mod_ssl is sounding better, if necessary (see
below)?

        Disclaimer,
          As I a previous e-mail, I'm not a Linux/Unix/Web admin.
          I'm a developer w/ a good bit of unix/linux experience who was
          asked to get SSL working on a current system.

        A few people here have a bit of experience with Apache/Tomcat/SSL,
        but, mostly as a user/developer not as an admin.

        Anyways, I started installing open-ssl & apache-ssl (to be replaced
w/mod-ssl)
        on Friday, when someone (a co-worker) told me that wasn't necessary
for our 
        needs since we have little to no static content to worry about and
therefore don't
        even need Apache.  I was also told then that Tomcat was also a
web-server, news to me.

        Today...
           I've disabled Apache  (httpd stop) - no httpd processes running.
           Review the changes to server.xml - basically just uncommenting
the SSL connector.
           Re-started Tomcat (as a non-root user) using for 8443.  (I'll try
to find out today why
               this isn't running as root)

          However https://myHost/~myUser  (test page) fails with "The page
cannot be displayed"
            as does http://myHost/~myUser, http://myHost:8443/~myUser and
https://myHost:8443/~myUser  


        Question:
           If I disable apache what (if anything else) do I need to do to
Tomcat? 
              Any server.xml mods?
              Update /etc/services?   https is on port 443, change to 8443?
          

        This can really drive ya nuts.

        I think I'll go play in the snow for a while & cool off  :)


        ThankX again,

        Ron
