SSL certs and Code signing certs are different animals. Did you
create a phony SSL cert? Try getting a trial one from one of the
vendors.

It should not be considered an error when the user starts something
already started or stops something already stopped. This applies
to browsers, services, editors... It is inexcusable to
punish the user by requiring some elaborate sequence to atone,
e.g. open the task editor, find and kill some processes.

You can create a self-signed SSL cert for free, and it shouldn't cause a
500. Perhaps you should look in the logs for tomcat and see if it has
more details on what went wrong.

The exception does not seem related to HTTPS at all.

It seems to indicate that the JSP compiler can not create
a directory for its output!
