Redirect changes http to https but port remains 8080

[Keith Hutchinson]

I'm having this issue where, after following the steps here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/running-jira-applications-over-ssl-or-https-938847764.html  (command line installation),

my server will redirect from:

http://myserver.com:8080 to https://myserver.com:8080

The protocol switches to https but the port remains the same. I have created the 8443 connector as specified in the instructions above for both the server.xml and WEB-INF/web.xml files. When I change the 8080 to 8443 manually, everything works.

I've been haunted by this problem for about a week now. I sure could use the help since I'm new to Tomcat also.

Hi @Keith Hutchinson ,

Do you need port 8080? If not, I would remove that configuration from server.xml. Then the only way to access is 8443.

If you need to redirect it, you can follow this post. It is similar situation you are facing.
