ok back to the topic at hand here. I have removed httpd from my server, installed APR, and have gotten my cert file from my hosting company. it is in pfx format. Now I found some information on the net:
http://tp.its.yale.edu/pipermail/cas/2005-July/001337.html It was saying that I can just use the pfx file with tomcat 5.5, so I put the file in my $CATALINA_HOME directory just as a test, modified my server.xml file to accept SSL: *<Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" port="443" maxThreads="200" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" keystoreFile="C:/Program Files/[*****]/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/[*****].com.pfx" keystorePass="[*************]" keystoreType="pkcs12" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />* *and.... blamo I get these exceptions:* *Aug 11, 2009 4:13:50 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol init SEVERE: Error initializing endpoint java.lang.Exception: No Certificate file specified or invalid file format at org.apache.tomcat.jni.SSLContext.setCertificate(Native Method) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint.init(AprEndpoint.java:684) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol.init(Http11AprProtocol.java:107) at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.initialize(Connector.java:1058) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.initialize(StandardService.java:677) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.initialize(StandardServer.java:795) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:530) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:550) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.load(Bootstrap.java:260) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:412) Aug 11, 2009 4:13:50 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load SEVERE: Catalina.start LifecycleException: Protocol handler initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: No Certificate file specified or invalid file format at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.initialize(Connector.java:1060) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.initialize(StandardService.java:677) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.initialize(StandardServer.java:795) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:530) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:550) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.load(Bootstrap.java:260) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:412) * *and these to boot.... says it cannot bind to port 443 (or 8443 either)* *Aug 11, 2009 4:13:51 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol start SEVERE: Error starting endpoint java.lang.Exception: Socket bind failed: [730048] Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint.init(AprEndpoint.java:612) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint.start(AprEndpoint.java:717) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol.start(Http11AprProtocol.java:137) at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.start(Connector.java:1131) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:531) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:710) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:578) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:288) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:413) Aug 11, 2009 4:13:51 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start SEVERE: Catalina.start: LifecycleException: service.getName(): "Catalina";

Am I able to use the pfx file with tomcat 6? The socket bind issue I have no clue, it looks like something is already running on port 443, but that is impossible. I only have the tomcat server running, IIS is disabled and httpd has been removed from the system completely. I also tried port 8443 but I am getting the same error message. Any insight would be most appreciated.
