CAS Server Setup Problems with Apache 2 over Tomcat 5.5

[Scott Battaglia]

Kristina,

The first thing to do is attempt to access CAS via a normal HTTP connection
to see if the SSL configuration is the problem.  If it still doesn't load in
Apache, then try accessing Tomcat directly (if you still have the  HTTP
connectors enabled, if not enable them).  If it loads in Apache over HTTP
and not HTTPS there may be a problem with the SSL configuration.  If it
doesn't load at all in Apache but does in Tomcat, then it may be a mod_jk
configuration issue.
