Hello,

In case anyone stumbles on the question, To determine whether your server is an HTTP or Tomcat server, you can look at the software that is installed on your Ubuntu server.

If you have installed Apache web server, it is an HTTP server. If you have installed Tomcat, it is a Tomcat server.

To check if Apache is installed on your server, you can run the following command:

apache2 -v

If Apache is installed, the command will return the version of Apache that is installed.

To check if Tomcat is installed on your server, you can run the following command:

sudo systemctl status tomcat

If Tomcat is installed, the command will return the status of the Tomcat service.

Once you have determined whether your server is an HTTP or Tomcat server, you can proceed with installing the Symantec SSL certificate.
