[users@httpd] Help Creating Test HTTP Server with SSL

[Kathy S Durlacher]

Looking to create a test IBM HTTP Server on z/OS to convert from version 8.5 to 
version 9.  Until the upgrade takes place, I need to keep the current 
environment active for users, so starting another HTTP server using different 
ports in place of the port 80 and SSL port 443.  Test HTTP server is setup with 
8084 and SSL 444.  Everything is accessible in the test environment except for 
WebSphere Application Server app utilizing SSL.  Where am I going wrong?

First showing how working in 8.5:
<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAlias choiceportal-d
    ServerAdmin midddlw...@aep.com

    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

How defined in test version 9 using 8084 & SSL 444

When I try to go to http://choiceportal-d:8084, I receive  "Can't reach this 
page"  "Make sure the web address http://choiceportal:8084 is correct"
