Tomcat5 SSL not working

I am working on a Windows 2008 Server and have successfully set up a webapp on Tomcat v5.5. I can access the app via http, but not via https.

In my Tomcat server.xml, I have defined the https connector as follows:

<Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" 
           enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" 
           SSLEnabled="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" 
           keyAlias="server" keystoreFile="C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.6.0_25/bin/<keystore>.jks" 
           keypass="<keypass>" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

I've also verified that the keystore file exists and that I can view the certificate contained within using the specified keypass. Is there anything else I'm missing? I did NOT create the keystore file locally, but rather copied it from another system. Do I need to "install" it somehow? Lastly, does IIS have to be installed/configured to access Tomcat via https locally?

I also cannot access Tomcat in general via https in the browser:

https://localhost/

Accessing Tomcat via http works fine:

http://localhost/

My server.xml looks like (and works)

   <Connector port="8443" SSLEnabled="true"
           protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol"
               maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
           keystoreFile="conf/tomcat.keystore" keystorePass="blah123"
               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />

so your file with <keystore>.jks looks wrong - no angle brackets eh.
