How to disable https for tomcat

Question

I didn't do any change but today, after turning on my computer, I'm not able to start Liferay portal...I keep getting

SEVERE: Catalina.start:
LifecycleException: service.getName(): "Catalina"; Protocol handler start fail
ed: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Martin\.keystore

I think I didn't do any change there, therefore I really don't know, how to fix it... I will appreciate any advice.

I don't want any HTTPS for tomcat - I just want to start my AS

Answer 1

Go to your tomcat home directory and find file server.xml (it usualy located in conf folder). There you'll need to find https connector configuration. It looks like this:

<Connector port="8443" ... SSLEnabled="true" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLS" ... />

Comment out this configuration line.

Answer 2

You'll find a Connector reference in conf/server.xml , which most likely is pointing to the keystore you name. Deactivate that connector and you should be fine
