I have my tomcat running as standalone in my linux box on port 7778. I have configured apache to run on ssl on port 443.

My httpd.conf is as below:

 Listen 80
<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerName www.domain.com
 Redirect / https://www.example.com
</VirtualHost> -->
ProxyPass / http://localhost:7778/website
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:7778/website

My ssl.conf is as below:

Listen 443
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/certificate/file
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key
</VirtualHost>

My server.xml connector is as below:

<Connector port="7778" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
 proxyName="www.domain.com" proxyPort="80" />

Issue is my Apache is not able to redirect to Tomcat on 7778 port and gives 503 error.

Two steps:

1 Firts confirm your Tomcat is ok.

Make sure you can connect to http://localhost:7778/website and get the expected response.

Then, for proxy support modify your Connector:

<Connector port="7778" protocol="HTTP/1.1" proxyName="www.example.com" proxyPort="80" />

2 Fix your Apache configuration

Here I assume:

• when you try http://www.example.com you are redirected to https://www.example.com
  


• 
  

  when you try https://www.example.com you get the response from Tomcat

  
  
  

  Listen 80
  <VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName www.example.com
   ServerAlias example.com
  
   CustomLog "logs/80_access.log" combined
   ErrorLog "logs/80_error.log"
  
   Redirect / https://www.example.com
  </VirtualHost>
  
  <VirtualHost *:443>
   ServerName www.example.com
   ServerAlias example.com
  
   # While debugging
   LogLevel debug
   CustomLog "logs/443_access.log" combined
   ErrorLog "logs/443_error.log"
  
   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile /path/to/certificate/file
   SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key
  
   # Proxy to Tomcat
   ProxyRequests Off
   ProxyPass / http://localhost:7778/website
   ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:7778/website
  
  </VirtualHost>
  

  
  

What you may have to adjust

• Log files directory


• certificate files directory


• LogLevel, remove debug mode once it works


• Make sure required modules are loaded. apachectl -t will let you know if you are missing any.
