Enabling SSL with XAMPP

Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

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

Solution 3:

For XAMPP, do the following steps:

1. G:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf"

2. Search 'DocumentRoot' text.

3. Change DocumentRoot DocumentRoot "G:/xampp/htdocs" to DocumentRoot "G:/xampp/htdocs/project name".

Solution 4:

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
