Hi again, I also wanted to note that if I use port 8443 in my server.xml file as my connector and redirect port, I do not receive any errors in my tomcat logs (as noted above). When I use 443, I receive this in my tomcat log upon restarting the service:
SEVERE [main] org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol.init Failed to initialize end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["https-jsse-nio-443"] java.net.SocketException: Permission denied
Both 8443 and 443 are now open on the server and router. Thanks again for all of your help so far!
