Certificate installation for https causing redirection.

[Weare Borg <ke...@gmail.com>]

Hello friends,

Sorry for pushing the question to both Tomcat and Apache, as changes seem
to be required in both Apache and Tomcat, so I did that.

We have one test server with Debian X64 which has one web-project running
in Apache and few webapps running with Apache Tomcat. The Apache web-server
runs mod_proxy and redirecting requests to Tomcat whenever the URL is
correct.

For adding security, I created certificates with LetsEncrypt
<https://letsencrypt.org/> and installed them. Unfortunately, for one of
the webapp which I installed the certificate, it is not opening anymore,
and whenever I try to open that webapp in browser, it redirects to the
web-project running in Apache web server. What am I doing wrong?

Please note, I was provided with .pem files, and had to convert them to .crt
and .key. Unfortunately there are no errors in logs as well. Right now, I
cannot reach the tomcat webapp which I would like with https.

Here is the configuration :
