WampServer

Hi everybody,
I needed to use SSL on my apache and wasn't sure if it's possible on wamp5 version 1.7. I looked around this forum and didn't find the answers. So I looked around the net and here are some useful links:
[www.neilstuff.com]
and in the first paragraph on this site is the link for users who has apache 2.2.x - what was my case.

So how I did it. I simply followed the tutorial, when I had to install new apache I did it (I installed version: apache_2.2.4-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8d.msi) and I installed it to another folder. Then I copied mod_ssl.so file to the wamp apache folder and uninstalled the new apache.
In that time I had wamp with the file for ssl. In httpd.conf I changed changed few things according to the tutorial and then also httpd-ssl.conf.
Finally I had to start and stop apache through command line, but it's maybe not necesary.

It wasn`t big deal. So if you wanna just try it.

If you have some questions, write here..

Bye

Xarp,

Thanks for your post. It has helped me get started in the right direction.

I tried taking your approach by copying the mod_ssl.so file to WAMP's Apache modules location. Upon uncommenting the LoadModule for mod_ssl WAMP will not start. Were there any other steps you took for this to work?

Can you please provide the chunk of code from httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf that you used as well?

Greatly appreciate any help I can get. I've used Apache, MySQL and PHP in the past but this is my first go around with WAMP...

Look forward to a response.

Further investigation reveals the following error:

Syntax error on line 114 of C:/wamp/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/wamp/Apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: The specified module could not be found.

wamp is not compiled with ssl support, so there is not mod_ssl module in the modules director.

So what do I need to do to compile it with ssl support. Xarp said he was able to do it...

If the answer is that I cannot, please let me know so that I can install them individually and move on.

Hi dbo,

and in httpd-ssl.conf there are these lines, where are links to my certifikates:
# Server Certificate:

# the certificate is encrypted, then you will be prompted for a
# pass phrase. Note that a kill -HUP will prompt again. Keep
# in mind that if you have both an RSA and a DSA certificate you
# can configure both in parallel (to also allow the use of DSA
# ciphers, etc.)
SSLCertificateFile c:/web/wamp/Apache2/conf/ssl/oc.cert
#SSLCertificateFile C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/server-dsa.crt

# Server Private Key:
# If the key is not combined with the certificate, use this
# directive to point at the key file. Keep in mind that if
# you've both a RSA and a DSA private key you can configure
# both in parallel (to also allow the use of DSA ciphers, etc.)
SSLCertificateKeyFile c:/web/wamp/Apache2/conf/ssl/oc.key


It`s strange you can't load the module. I have one idea, just check that when you edit your php.ini, you do it through wamp - configuration files. Because once I edited something in php.ini, or httpd.conf files normally and the changes didn't work. Then I tried it through opened wamp, configuration files, php.ini and it works.

And do you use also the wamp version 1.7.0?

Tell me how it's going.

Bye
