I'm trying to set up Apache Tomcat 6 with SSL and once I edited the server.xml file to include the following definitions the server started to fail as soon as I hit startup.bat:

<-- Define a SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 -->

< Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" port="8445" maxThreads="200" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true" keystoreFile="${user.home}/.tomcat" keystorePass="pnnlpw" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"/ >

The logs that I have are as follows:

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? I believe it has to do with the configuration of my connector. I'm pretty new to this so any help would be much appreciated.
