So, like the title says I need some help with this. Has anyone ever done this and would be willing to either write up a little tut or point me to a site that has a tutorial? I really need to know if this can be done and how it’s done. I have searched google and I couldn’t really find anything for OSX plenty of tuts for Windows though! Thanks all in advance!

Is this local, or are you setting this to a domain? :slight_smile:

If it’s local, just try https://localhost/ and it should work :slight_smile:

Although obviously the browser will complain there’s no certificate… :smiley:

Thanks for reply, this is local for test development. I have tried doing that and it gives me problem loading page?

Looks like your xampp server hasn’t got the correct ports configured for ssl… not sure mate…

Just did a quick search and found some info on the xampp site

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html

Do a search for ssl on that page.

Try running this in terminal :

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp startssl

:slight_smile:

Yea, :frowning: tried that and it says unknown command. Ugh, I’m definitely not a network / server type.

Alright what happens if you just type in this:

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp

and where have you installed xampp?

Thank you! Based off what you have said, I have gotten it to work w/ this line:

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp enablessl

Awesome, glad I could help :slight_smile:

I’m guessing that…

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp

…gave you a list of commands / instructed you how to use -help so you found enablessl ? :slight_smile:
