jira connector HTTPS not working

[Malik Chettih]

in my server.xml, I have these two connectors :

<Connector port="8080" relaxedPathChars="[]|" relaxedQueryChars="[]|{}^&#x5c;&#x60;&quot;&lt;&gt;"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" connectionTimeout="20000" enableLookups="false"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" protocol="HTTP/1.1" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" redirectPort="8453"
acceptCount="100" disableUploadTimeout="true" bindOnInit="false" scheme="http"
/>


<!-- proxyName="fr1cswpsktp0001.misys.global.ad" proxyPort="80" -->
<!--keyAlias="jira2" keystoreFile="/pathTo/jira-keystore.jks" keystorePass="xxxxx" keystoreType="JKS" -->
<Connector SSLEnabled="true" acceptCount="100" clientAuth="false" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false"
keyAlias="jira2" keystoreFile="jira2-keystore.jks" keystorePass="cashflow" keystoreType="JKS"
maxHttpHeaderSize="12288" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="8453"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" relaxedPathChars="[]|" relaxedQueryChars="[]|{}^\`&quot;&lt;&gt;"
scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLS" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"/>

The Jira server run properly but for each call from the browser (using http and https url), I get http code 500 and I have this in server log :

Hi @Malik Chettih 

Based on what I am seeing on the log file, the following is what was suggested to people experiencing the same issue 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41690854/server-http-nio-8080-exec-7-org-apache-coyote-http11-http11processor-service

Let me know if the suggested solution worked if not let's check further.

Best,

Fadoua

Hi Fadoua,

Thank you for your reply, the issue was a simple error in xml file with a double closing tag  </Service>.
Strangely, tomcat server starts properly even with such issue in its configuration file but fails to deploy Jira.

@Malik Chettih  Glad to learn you were able to fix it.

Best,

Fadoua
