We are not having much success adding SSL to our dspace 7 server despite modelling out apache and tomcat configuration on our functioning dspace 5 production server.
Our tomcat server.xml is configured with:
<Connector address="127.0.0.1" port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3"
maxThreads="300"
minSpareThreads="25"
connectionTimeout="300000"
keepAliveTimeout="300000"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
and nmap confirms that port 8009 is open and listening.
Our apache configuration reads:
ProxyPass /server ajp://localhost:8009/server timeout=300
ProxyPassReverse /server ajp://localhost:8009/server timeout=300
only gets an error response:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<title>503 Service Unavailable</title>

<h1>Service Unavailable</h1>
<p>The server is temporarily unable to service your
request due to maintenance downtime or capacity
problems. Please try again later.</p>
