Hi there, Thanks for the response. I have tried that, and it works if I directly type in https://www.mywebsite.comin the browser (I'm using IE7). This is how my server.xml file looks like for the non-SSL HTTP and SSL HTTP respectively:
<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --> <Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 --> <Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" keystoreFile="/root/.keystore" keystoreType="JKS" keystorePass="b0nus2ooo??" > <Factory className="org.apache.catalina.net.SSLServerSocketFactory" clientAuth="false" protocol="TLS"/> </Connector> I'm not using a .htaccess file. What am i missing? I read something about a redirectPort attribute, am i suppose to be using that? Please advise. Thank you for your time, and thanks in advance. I look forward to hearing from you.
