I've been following this guide as much as I could
http://robsnotebook.com/xampp-ssl-encrypt-passwords .
However whenever I browse to a page starting with https the apache server replies 404 Object Not Found.
What setting I am missing? Thanks for any help.
Found the answer. In the file xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
, under the comment SSL Virtual Host Context
pages on port 443 meaning https is looked up under different document root.
Simply change the document root to the same one and problem is fixed.
You can also configure your SSL in xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhost.conf
like this:
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/yourProject
ServerName yourProject.whatever
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "conf/ssl.crt/server.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "conf/ssl.key/server.key"
</VirtualHost>
I guess, it's better not change it in the httpd-ssl.conf
if you have more than one project and you need SSL on more than one of them
For XAMPP, do the following steps:
G:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf"
Search 'DocumentRoot' text.
Change DocumentRoot DocumentRoot "G:/xampp/htdocs" to DocumentRoot "G:/xampp/htdocs/project name".
configure SSL in xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhost.conf
http
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/myproject/web"
ServerName www.myurl.com
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/myproject/web">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
https
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/myproject/web"
ServerName www.myurl.com
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "conf/ssl.crt/server.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "conf/ssl.key/server.key"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/myproject/web">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
make sure server.crt & server.key path given properly otherwise this will not work.
don't forget to enable vhost in httpd.conf
# Virtual hosts
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
