Hi, I am trying to setup SSL on Apache 2.2. I am able to access port 443 (SSL) on my local computer using http://localhost:443. The problem is when I right-click and select properties, it tells me that there is no certificate on this website. Also, why doesn't https://localhost not work? I thought 443 and https are the same. Thanks, duckyy
What operating system is on your computer, Windows or Linux? In Linux, you will need to create a self signed certificate or buy one from a ssl provider like Thawte. In windows, I assume its similar on the certificate aspect but how to install a windows cert and so forth is a bit past my knowledge as im a Linux Guru, not a Windows Guru haha.
Hi, I created my own certificate key. I figured out the problem, it had to do with my httpd-openssl.conf file. I am now able to access https on my local computer, but not outside the network. I have enabled port 443 on both my firewalls (windows, physical), but for some reason it still timeouts when I am trying to connect. Any idea to why? Incoming port is to 443? Destination port? Thanks for the response.
Hi, I would recommend you look into nginx as the frontend load balancer. It is really simple to setup. You should be able to use the certificates you already have. After that you can't solve your problem then put your question http://faq.ssl.com/. I hope you will solve your problem. [TABLE="width: 64"] [TR] [TD="width: 64"][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
