WampServer

Hello,

I've enabled SSL on WAMP, it took quite a bit of messing around and ultimately fighting my antivirus to stop blocking my local projects. The last issue remaining unresolved is that when I open the localhost page, next to each of my virtual hosts, including localhost itself, I see:

localhost:443 - Not a Listen port

And in the footer:

Port :443 used for the VirtualHost is not an Apache Listen port

And when I go to WAMP > left click > My virtual hosts, there's an exclamation mark in front of each of them.

When I go to WAMP > right click > Instruments, I see that the port Apache is using is 80. And when I try to add another port, 443, I get the following message:

The port number you give: 443 is not valid or already used or is default port.

Inside each of the virtual hosts definitions, I specified port 443 and pointed to the newly creates certificates. Each VH now looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName vinyls
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/vinyls"
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "${SRVROOT}/conf/ssl/server.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "${SRVROOT}/conf/ssl/server.key"
<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/vinyls/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
Require ip 192.168.1
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I remember seeing some months ago a post containing instructions on how to set up SSL but now, when I searched for it using keywords such as SSL and HTTPS, nothing comes up.

Note: to get SSL going, I followed instructions provided by AI.

Please let me know what else I need to do.

Oh, I found the instructions: [forum.wampserver.com]

What I did didn't include many of the instructions here. Now I'm unsure how to proceed without messing it all up completely...

Since my websites actually work, I guess it is safer to just let this error stay there, because I find the instructions too complicated.

Hi,

> because I find the instructions too complicated.
Three clicks of mouse !!!!!!

I'm exaggerating! Just two clicks !!!!
