SSL not loading after configuration

Question

I've been trying to setup my Tomcat 8 webserver to run my Java website with SSL enabled. After editing the server.xml and generating my keystore, the normal 8080 port seems to work fine, but my 8443 port (and https) doesn't load at all, browsers just give me "Connection refused". I can't see any relevant errors in the Tomcat logs.

I am using Eclipse Mars to start Tomcat and run my website during development.

server.xml

Is there an obvious reason that I'm missing as to why the SSL page doesn't load at all?

Answer 1

Fixed it - Turns out Eclipse saves Tomcats server.xml in the project folder, and changing Tomcats global settings does nothing.
