How can I put a folder in this https: server?
I can not locate the local host directory
Or where do I put my files to run the website/webapp

The local host directory is hidden. In terminal do a cd ~/ then do ls -a and you should see the folder created.
Also you dont need to put the folders anywhere. just cd to the folder and run https-server

The script doesn't work. I get the following: /Users/junkbox/.bash_profile: line 9: `https-server': not a valid identifier

after executing the script run
sudo http-server --ssl --cert ~/.localhost-ssl/localhost.crt --key ~/.localhost-ssl/localhost.key
it will work

Ok, the script works but How do I enable certs for my local tomcat server running on port 8080?
I tried changing my application port to 8081, but does not work. Am I missing something?
