Port 8443 Issues

[garywags]

New to this so apologies for any basic errors.

Have followed the install guide and have no problem with running Webmail and Administration console on port 8080.

However when trying to connect on port 8443 using firefox get a pop up window saying "you have chosen to open Webmail or Sac which is a BIN file". The server is listening on Port 8443.

I am running Fedora Core 4 and Scalix Community Edition 9.4.

Thanks

Hi Gary,

Could you post the section of your server.xml file that pertains to your port 8443 settings? Also, what URL are you using to access your Scalix Server via 8443?

Thanks,
Rachel

I am also having problems with port 8443. Here is the related config:

<!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
<Connector port="8080"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
disableUploadTimeout="true" />
<!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value
to 0 -->

<!-- Note : To use gzip compression you could set the following properties :

compression="on"
compressionMinSize="2048"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml"
-->

<!-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->
<Connector port="8443"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

<!-- Define a Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector port="8009"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" debug="0"
protocol="AJP/1.3" />

lsof -i :8443 returns nothing.

Any help is much appriciated. Thanks!

When you start up tomcat, if nothing is listening on port 8443 even though it looks like you have configured server.xml correctly, there should be some errors logged in $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/catalina.out.

Please can you post them ?

Cheers

Dogstar,
It looks like you are trying to set up two connectors, both the 8080 and the 8443. If you have the 8080 commented out, I am missing it somewhere. If I remember correctly, you have to comment out the 8080 section.

I resolved the issue by rebuilding the key and restarting tomcat. I did this a few times previously but this time it worked.

cmacnabb, just as a side remark...

while many users would comment out the 8080 http connector as soon as they've setup 8443 for https for security reasons, it is well possible to run both in parallel.

Thank you Florian. I did not know that it was possible to do that.
