Tomcat 7.0.16 Linux x86_64 GNU/Linux (Amazon AWS 64-bit AMI) APR is definitely correctly installed, without the SSL configuration I receive the following log info: INFO: Loaded APR based Apache Tomcat Native library 1.1.20. 30-Aug-2011 13:22:47 org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init INFO: APR capabilities: IPv6 [true], sendfile [true], accept filters [false], random [true].
I am unable to start Tomcat having followed the SSL How-to ( http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html) and receive the following stack trace on server start: SEVERE: Failed to initialize connector [Connector[HTTP/1.1-8443]] org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Protocol handler initialization failed at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.initInternal(Connector.java:912) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.init(LifecycleBase.java:101) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.initInternal(StandardService.java:559) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.init(LifecycleBase.java:101) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.initInternal(StandardServer.java:781) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.init(LifecycleBase.java:101) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:572) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:595) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:616) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.load(Bootstrap.java:262) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:430) Caused by: java.lang.Exception: Unable to load certificate key /usr/local/tomcat/conf/my.pem (error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line) at org.apache.tomcat.jni.SSLContext.setCertificate(Native Method) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint.bind(AprEndpoint.java:513) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AbstractEndpoint.init(AbstractEndpoint.java:490) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol.init(AbstractProtocol.java:364) at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.initInternal(Connector.java:910) ... 13 more As per the documentation, my server.xml configuration is as follows: <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on" /> <Connector port="8443" maxThreads="200" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" SSLCertificateFile="/usr/local/tomcat/conf/my.crt" SSLCertificateKeyFile="/usr/local/tomcat/conf/my.pem" clientAuth="optional" SSLProtocol="TLSv1"/> I have tried removing redundant parameters as per the HTTP Connector SSL Support ( http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html#SSL%20Support) but still receive the same error.
