![]() Recommended Reading: Beginner’s Guide To WordPress Multisite With MAMP Getting Started If you are looking for an alternative app, let’s check out what AMPPS has to offer and see how to deploy a website on a local computer with it. It is packed with loads of feature, and it does more than just run a local server. Recently, we came across an application called AMPPS. But if there is another tool that can make a developer’s job faster and more efficient, we’d jump on that tool at every chance. These three applications are sufficient for the job. ![]() I’d still like to have secure localhost & oak.test vhosts, but in all my testing I only managed to get one or the other working, never both, so I must be doing something wrong.MAMP is one of the most popular applications in OSX to run local server for Windows users, WAMP or XAMPP is likely the most widely used option. eventually I removed them all & my installation works as required.ģ. Several people suggesting adding ALLOW directives, but I had lots of probelms with them, typically the apache server wouldn’t even start. ![]() In the end I provided certificate full paths in preference to relative pathsĢ. There are several points to note regarding the vhosts settings above.ġ. # CustomLog “logs/localhostSSL-access.log” common # SSLCertificateKeyFile “C:/xampp/apache/certs/localhost/server.key” # SSLCertificateFile “C:/xampp/apache/certs/localhost/server.crt” # ServerAdmin DocumentRoot “D:/dataOak/web” # I’d like to use either localhost and/or oak.test, but it’s one or the other so far □ SSLCertificateKeyFile “C:/xampp/apache/certs/oak.test/server.key”ĬustomLog “logs/oak-testSSL-access.log” common SSLCertificateFile “C:/xampp/apache/certs/oak.test/server.crt” My additions to the nf file, as promised:ĬustomLog “logs/oak-test-access.log” common This behaviour is very frustrating & may partly explain why I had so much difficulty in getting a working configuration. In other words, I suspect that stopping/starting the apache server isn’t always sufficient after you have made configuration changes. I provide the additions to the file as a separate post.ĭuring testing I often thought the set-up was working, but it didn’t survive a reboot, so I did a lot of reboots in the end □ I also think some set-ups didn’t work until after a reboot. I did not modify the nf file as recommended as stated by several people, I think the information is best provided in the nf file. The modifications to the hosts file are straightforward, but in Win 10 at least I found that actually saving the file requires that you open in editor in administrator mode even if you are logged in as an administrator user. The certificate installation process is straightforward enough, but if you have to repeat it for a virtual site then I would first delete the previously created server.crt & server.key files manually. ![]() When you replace both instances of marker must to be replaced by your actual virtual domain (eg, oak.test). I had to do the following corrections then it worked perfectly. SSLCertificateKeyFile “C:/xampp/apache/crt/example.test/server.key” SSLCertificateFile “C:/xampp/apache/crt/example.test/server.crt” Add an Allow directive to both modulesĭocumentRoot “C:\xampp\htdocs\example.test” htaccess file in your root, it may be denying you. you still need port 80 to be there even though you are using SSLĭo you have a. In the conf file, ensure the first module is port 80 and the second module is port 443. Hosts file – must be edited with elevated priviledges and save as host – not host. If you rerun it, delete the previous directory. It’s very simple, simply open XAMPP Control Panel and Stop and re- Start Apache Module.Īpache is missing dependencies possibly caused by trying to start before the certificate has been created SSLCertificateKeyFile "crt/site.test/server.key"Īfter that, you will need to restart Apache in XAMPP. SSLCertificateFile "crt/site.test/server.crt" So we need to edit C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\nfĪnd add this code at the bottom: # site.test We need to enable SSL for this domain and let XAMPP know where we store the SSL Cert. This will tell windows to load XAMPP when we visit You can try and it will show XAMPP dashboard page. Edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (the file have no ext).Next is how how to use this cert in XAMPP. And now this cert is installed and trusted in Windows.
