I would be making changes to Tomcat’s 7 sever.xml file specifically port 8443 to 443, but I

don’t know how to test port 8443 in the first place, with 8080, I could test with

localhost:8080, but how can I test with 8443, I have already tried with localhost:8443, but

it says that “Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:8443”. I have

made some research into this but it seems that every time there is a reference to port 8443,

it talks about installing a certificate which is most likely what I have to do next.

What do you mean “test port 8443”? This port in Tomcat is by default used for SSL connection.
