Certificate installation for https causing redirection.

[Weare Borg <kernelfreak@xxxxxxxxx>]

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 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 :

Any help would be nice.
