SSL with wildcard certificate

[towerman]

Hi guys,
I've already got a wildcard certificate that I want to install on XAMPP on a Windows machine.
I don't get how to do so, forcing all traffic under HTTPS
Could someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Simply use

Code: Select all

Listen 443

only.

It's not what I was looking for.
First, I've to install the wildcard certificate with XAMPP.
That's what I'm not able to do

Normally the provider of the certificate comes with a documentation how to install it. As a certificate proofs the identity of your server, you have to proof at installation time that you are installing on the correct server.

There is an example virtualhost in httpd- ssl.conf which shows where you can put the certification files.

I don't have any documentation
So I just have to stop Apache, change the virtualhost in httpd-ssl.conf and start Apache again, am I right?

No. Not at all. You need a SSL certificate.
So first of all - do you have a certificate?

Forcing all traffic under https to me means forcing all traffic on port 80 (http) to port 443 (https). Is this what you are looking for or how to setup your apache to use your new wildcard certificate? They are two different things.

Yes, I have it.
I've a certificate as *.domain.ext

Next step?

Edit httpd-ssl.conf and apply your certificate to your Virtualhost. As i already said, there is an example virtualhost. Put your files as shown in the example, then restart Apache.

Actually, there are tons of tutorials and documentation in the internet, how to apply SSL certficates to Xampp. Simply google for " apply ssl certificate to Xampp". Its not very usefull if i repeat what others already have documented nicely.

I've already googled online, but I don't make it work
That's why I've written here.

With that extremely poor amount of information nobody can help. You should explain precisely, what you are doing, which files do you have, which certificate (who releases it), what exactly did you try already (did you change any configuration, and what did you change), what happens after,did you get any messages, please show us all of them an finally do not show us dummy data (like domain.com) but real data and real code. Copy & paste code and message

"I dont make it work" does not provide any information.

Don't worry mate, I won't make you angry anymore, you can take your arrogance for someone else

Genau wie ich es mir gedacht habe. Ein absoluter Vollidiot und Schlaumichel, der ernsthaft glaubt, er würde mit seinem primitiven Anliegen durchkommen. Ne, kannst Du knicken.
