ssl server configuration

[NetKev]

I followed the instructions to setup the ssl server for tomcat(stand alone)
on the website.  I'm using v5.5 with jre 1.5 on solaris.  I created my
keystore, got a signed cert from my CA and inserted it into the keystore,
added my CA chain certs to the keystore.  I modified the server.xml file to
reflect the keystore path and alias and I uncommented the section.  I
restarted tomcat and the manager status page shows a paragraph that seems to
indicate the the server is also running on port 8443 (in addition to 8080).
But when i try to connect to https://host:8443, i get no response.  i also
tried telneting to that port to see if it was at least open from the server
its running on (to eliminate a firewall problem) and i get connection
refused.  I don't beleive the daemon is running on the port.  the log files
are empty with no helpful info to speak of.

Where should I start to troubleshoot?

Is there a firewall between your client and Tomcat? Is port 8443 open?

You should see the startup messages for both the 8080 connector and the
8443 connector. Can you post those messages here please.

I think I may have a logging problem.  All my logs are completely
empty.  I get a log4j warning to stdout and that's it.  How can I fix
the logging problem.  This is a need problem.

Start with a clean install without your webapps. Logging will work out of
the box (assuming you use a distro from Apache) and get ssl working with that.

I cant do a clean install on a production server.  I did do this on a
development server and everything worked fine.  It's strange that my change
to the server.xml caused logging to stop working completely.  is there a
log4j properties file i should add someone to get logging working again?

Presumably if you just comment the ssl section out logging starts working
again?
