Apache: HTTPS na localhostu

How do I allow HTTPS for Apache on localhost?

1. Ensure you have write permissions to your Apache conf folder
2. Open a command prompt in Apache2\conf folder
3. Type

                   
                       ..\bin\openssl req -config openssl.cnf -new -out server.csr -keyout server.pem
                   
               

4. You can leave all questions blank except:
   • PEM Passphrase: a temporary password such as "password"
   • Common Name: the hostname of your server
5. When that completes, type

                   
                       ..\bin\openssl rsa -in server.pem -out server.key
                   
               

6. Generate your self-signed certificate by typing:

                   
                       ..\bin\openssl x509 -in server.csr -out server.crt -req -signkey server.key -days 365
                   
               

7. Open Apache's conf\httpd.conf file and ensure SSL module is enabled - there should be no hash at the start of this line:

                   
                       LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
                   
               

8. Some Apache installations place the SSL config in a separate file. If so, ensure that the SSL conf file is being included. In my case I had to uncomment this line:

                   
                       Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
                   
               

9. In the SSL config httpd-ssl.conf I had to update the following lines:
   • Update

                             
                                 SSLSessionCache "shmcb:C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2/logs/ssl_scache(512000)" 
                             
                         

     to

                             
                                 SSLSessionCache "shmcb:c:/Apache24/logs/ssl_scache(512000)"
                             
                         

     (The brackets in the path confuse the module, so we need to escape them)

   •                         
                                 DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/htdocs"
     
                                 ServerName localhost:443
     
                                 ServerAdmin info@viktorbabjak.cz
     
                                 ErrorLog "c:/Apache24/logs/error.log"
     
                                 TransferLog "c:/Apache24/logs/access.log"
                             
                         

   •                         
                                 SSLCertificateFile "c:/Apache24/conf/server.crt"
                             
                         

   •                         
                                 SSLCertificateKeyFile "c:/Apache24/conf/server.key"
                             
                         

10. Restart Apache.
11. Try loading https://localhost/ in your browser.
