hi @tomasp
tnx 4 your reply mate.
I'm using the native installer @ windows 2012 r2 server 64bit.
[Tomcat]
tomcat_server_port=8080
tomcat_server_ssl_port=8443
tomcat_server_shutdown_port=8005
tomcat_server_ajp_port=8009
tomcat_root_directory=D:\Alfresco/apache-tomcat
tomcat_domainname=127.0.0.1
tomcat_configuration_directory=D:\Alfresco/apache-tomcat/conf
tomcat_unique_service_name=alfrescoTomcat
[Apache]
apache_server_port=8080
apache_server_ssl_port=443
apache_root_directory=D:\Alfresco/apache2
apache_htdocs_directory=D:\Alfresco/apache2/htdocs
apache_domainname=h2466486
apache_configuration_directory=D:\Alfresco/apache2/conf
apache_unique_service_name=alfrescoApache
Shouldn't the tomcat ssl port be 443 as well ?
the apache command I put somewhere in the command prompt I guess?
these were the initial steps i did
step1
openssl genrsa -out D:\Alfresco/apache2/conf/server.key 2048
step2
openssl req -new -key D:\Alfresco/apache2/conf/server.key -out D:\Alfresco/apache2/conf/cert.csr -config D:\Alfresco/apache2/conf/openssl.cnf
and then sent the csr info to the public CA...
if i should do these steps again / different please let me know 
p.s. looking at the openssl.cnf file .. it looks like an example file rather than an actual file that's being used?? maybe this is the issue ?
