ssl support for WAMP

[barbara1712]

Hello Guys,

I want to have ssl support to my site.
As of now It is running as http://mydomain.com

But now I want to have https://mydomain.com

Can anyone please help me how to achieve this?

Your help will be highly appreciated?

thanks,

[Dan Grossman]

Enable mod_ssl (I'm pretty sure WAMP already has it, you just need to uncomment it in your httpd.conf if it's commented out) and buy an SSL certificate. Wherever you buy it from should have instructions on the directives to add to use it.

thanks Dan Grossman,

Is it available freely, or can we create the ssl support?

[Dan Grossman]

You can self-sign a certificate, but then anyone that visits your site will get a big security warning popup from their browser telling them the site is not safe.

thanks,

but what is Free Trusted SSL Certificate?
means if we have this free trusted ssl certificate, then it will not give the warning popup?

Followed all the steps as per
http://guides.jlbn.net/setssl/setssl1.html
But when I enabled the module in httpd.conf file

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

and when I restart the WAMP, the wamp service gets stopped.

please help me.....

Have you looked at your error_log for the reason Apache wouldn't start?

[barbara1712]

yes....
But there is no any error in error_log.

I have followed all the steps.
But at step 42 and 43 i.e.
Making the changes in conf/httpd.conf file
1)
# Secure (SSL/TLS) connections
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
#

and
2)
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

After making these 2 changes when I restart wamp, then it stops running.

I don't know why this is happening.

I have tried with wamp1.7.3 and wamp2.0 But no luck and stucked.

[Dan Grossman]

Did you create an httpd-ssl.conf file at conf/extra?

I'm not a fan of that guide you're using. It's got far too many pages for what should be a 5 line change.

Hi,
This is the apache_error log which I am getting after making above 2 changes and restarting wamp02
