Apache not passing https requests through to tomcat

[ZenDrax]

Hi all,

Thank you in advance for any insight that anyone may be able to offer me.

I just installed Tomcat 4.1.18 on a machine running slackware linux 8.1. I want to use it as a servlet/jsp engine for Apache+mod_ssl. So I installed the mod_jk module (mod_jk-1.3-eapi.so), added the neccessary LoadModule directive to httpd.conf, and added an Include to call the mod_jk.conf file generated by tomcat.

Now here's the problem: I can access Tomcat's included examples just fine via

http://localhost/examples

-- Apache correctly passes the request off to Tomcat. But if I try the same url via https, apache returns 404 errors. Apache works fine via http or https for my regular static pages, but when I use https it does not recognize /examples as a path that should be delegated to Tomcat.

Can anybody please explain what I've left out or done wrong?

Thanks again,
ZenDrax

In the server.xml file which is located in the $TOMCAT_HOME/conf, add the https connector. It should already be there but it will be commented out. Remove the comments and voila...
