The browser is not hitting the web server. (Unable to open on https)

My domain is:www.naadionline.com

I ran this command: I have followed these steps : https://ivopetkov.com/b/let-s-encrypt-on-ec2/ to install lets encrypt on my machine, after that ran the following command to restart the tomcat server.
sudo service tomcat8 restart;

It produced this output:
28-Nov-2017 02:35:42.230 SEVERE [main] org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol.init Failed to initialize end point associated with ProtocolHandler [“http-nio-443”] java.net.SocketException: Permission denied at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind0(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:433) at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:425)

To fix the above issue i tried with : http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=7157699

My web server is (include version): Tomcat 8.0

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Amazon ec2 machine Linux: 4.4.23-31.51.amzn1.x86_64

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: AWS

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

@smishra
check if other process is using 443 port .If not try changing connector port in server.xml .
try adding authbind=yes in /etc/default/tomcat[7/8]

i need to know what combination are you using
tomcat + apache + mod_jk ? . If you are using this , adding ssl parameters with apache wont affect tomcat.

hi gotham,
I have checked port 443, it is not used by any other process. We are using tomcat server, there is no Apache. And we have followed these steps: https://ivopetkov.com/b/let-s-encrypt-on-ec2 to configure lets encrypt SSL on our web server running on AWS ec2.

have you tried the above?

also can you please post server.xml config ?

Hi gotham,
server.xml details :

Test it with 8443 instead of 443 and try accessing the app with this 8443 .check if its working fine .if its fine , definitely tomcat user cant able to bind with 443 .

open /etc/default/tomcat[version]

add

authbind=yes [ at the last line ]

save it
now

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install authbind
touch /etc/authbind/byport/443
chmod 500 /etc/authbind/byport/443
chown tomcat8 /etc/authbind/byport/443

systemctl restart tomcat8.service or service tomcat8 restart

@smishra
