Issue/Introduction

When running the sdic test, it fails.

 ./sdiclinux.exe -h hii_2 -p password -test

 Port "8443 " is not available for use as the Web Server port.

Tomcat is already configured and running to use the https port of 8443 so why does it fail when setting the hii tomcat_port=8443

Cause

Tomcat is configured for HTTPS running on port 8443.  The HII entry is asking for the HTTP port config even though it doesn't state that.

Resolution

Change the tomcat_port entry in the install command or HII file to another port, such as 80 or 8080:

tomcat_port=8080

The installer only checks to see if the port is available if it is not 80.  Normally when OneClick tomcat is configured for SSL HTTPS port 8443 is used.  The installer sees it in use and fails.

The installer will ignore it and use what is already configured in your $SPECROOT/tomcat/conf/server.xml file.

You can verify after install the uncommented connector port at the bottom of the $SPECROOT/tomcat/conf/server.xml file is still 8443
