Trying to Learn + Test SSL Setup

[Neuner]

Ok, why dont you proceed to "every other forum" if they can help you better? Good luck!

Got the answer I needed from stackoverflow. That was fast.

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:443>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/example-website"
    ServerName www.example-website.org
    ServerAlias example-website.org

    SSLEngine On

    SSLCertificateFile "C:/xampp/apache/conf/ssl.crt/certificate.crt "
    SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:/xampp/apache/conf/ssl.key/private.key"

    <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/example-website">
        Options All
        AllowOverride All
        order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>



I'm very excited to have it working.

And no, I did not need to post my actual website in order for them to help.

If you are happy that is all that counts.

I have multiple problems with this configuration.

Mainly you did not understand what the problem was, you just pasted a configuration you do not know what it does.
Did you asked for an Alias or need one? If yes, is it correct that your main Domain is with the www subdomain and not without?
It is not recommend to nest DocumentRoots (like <VirtualHost *:443> is pointing to a subdirectory of the virtualHost <VirtualHost *:80>. That can cause very intransparent errors that are hard to debug.
And lastly, why did you use the old Apache 2.2 compatibility access rules? That is very outdated.

But hey, you are happy and did not need to post a real configuration in order to get help. Everybody is happy.

And what has changed??

Now that someone else has assisted you note all of these issues. Why didn't you say something earlier and help instead of making false accusations at the very beginning?

And lastly, why did you use the old Apache 2.2 compatibility access rules? That is very outdated.

I see you're running Win11. Most others are like me, hate it, and wish it a Win ME horrible death so we're holding onto Win10 as long as we can. Apache this, Apache that. To each their own.

Nothing of this was the issue for your problems. You made very clear that you just wanted to get your problem solved, with providing us as least helpful information as possible.
It was not your goal to understand the configuration or get a clean configuration or participate in any way. You get what you asked for i guess. Why should i invest my valuable time into this?

People hate and fear what they don't understand. I am not limited to Windows 11. It is not my only operating system.

Ich finde bei Stackoverflow übrigens keinen aktuellen Thread, der sich mit diesem Problem befasst. Passend dazu erklärt Neuner ja auch nicht, was denn jetzt die grossartige Änderung im VirtualHost sein soll, so dass Apache deswegen jetzt startet. Der ServerAlias hat jedenfalls nichts damit zu tun und wahrscheinlich war es ein Tippfehler o.ä., der nicht hier gezeigt wurde, weil wir sowieso keinen Originalcode sehen (das grundsätzliche Problem, was er nicht begreift).

[Neuner]

I am out.

And yet you're still here.

I didn't want your type on my website so I didn't post it. Got several helpful postings past and present without knowing the website. Everyone uses examples.

All these posts and still no assistance. Had to get help elsewhere. You're as useful as a white crayon. Apache "Friends" my ass.

You are the only ones to say this. I gave enough info for the other forums and they resolved my problem with one response.

If I didn't provide enough you should have asked. You were so caught up in knowing the website name that you didn't want to see the question I thoughtfully put together.

I see A LOT of threads on here with 0 or 1 response that have died. I now see why, and should have picked up on that before posting.

No, you did not provide enough information, at least not here. The proof is that your original obscured configuration and your current obscured configuration are nearly identical. If you remove the anonymized parts, the remaining parts that are different don't contain any fix for the issues you reported, not for the "wrong page is shown", and not for the "Apache refuses to start" problem.
I don't blame you, you simply don't have an idea or any knowledge to rate that.

If I didn't provide enough you should have asked.

We did asked for the original configuration. You just didn't want to provide that information.

You were so caught up in knowing the website name that you didn't want to see the question I thoughtfully put together.

I really don't care about anybodys Homepage, domain names or anything. You have had problems with your configuration, so we need to know the configuration. It is simply fact that in most cases the problem is a type in the domain name, DocumentRoot path or similar parts of the configuration. It is very likely that this was true for your issue true. That would explain why your old and your new configuration does not contain any obvious reason for your issue.

[Neuner]

I don't blame you.

Yes you do. Over and over again. You stepped in right away falsely accusing me and then went silent. You haven't posted until I found a resolution and you tried to defend your little hurt ego.

Looked again and this recent thread has the most posting of any, only because you've been exposed as a fraud.

Easily found an example in the next listed thread:

Does anybody use this form?!

And a month after the guy's initial post:

I'm bumping this thread again to see if anyone can answer my question.

Have fun with your small desert kingdom. I'm laughing knowing that no one, including myself, will ever see whatever pathetic response you try and come up with.

You stepped in right away falsely accusing me and then went silent.

I just said that you are using XAMPP in an environment it is not been made for. And you clearly does not have the knowledge to harden the components to make it safe for such environments.
It is important to tell you that so that you have the chance to know what you are doing is dangerous for you, your network and any others computer your newly member of a botnet might attack. It might not be the information you searched for, but it is what it is. This whole thread here is full of your childish behavior just to hear what you want to hear.

You do not know what a community driven support forum is. XAMPP is a free product without any warranty, without any claim of support. Users are helping users here in their freetime. And they do this under their own conditions. Don't get distracted by my red Name, i am a normal user like any other here with some additional rights to clean the board from spam.

You haven't posted until I found a resolution trying to defend your little hurt ego.

No worries, you cannot touch my ego in any way.

Looked again and this recent thread has the most posting of any, only cause you've been exposed as a fraud.

No, it has the most postings because we are feeding a troll here.

And yet you're still here.

Ja, aber nicht um Dir zu helfen. Dir kann nur ein Arzt helfen.

I didn't want your type on my website so I didn't post it.

Brauchst Du ja auch nicht, aber dann brauchst Du auch nicht zu fragen. Wenn das armselige Gestammel Deine "thoughtfull question" ist, dann tust Du mir aufrichtig leid.

Got several helpful postings past and present without knowing the website. Everyone uses examples.

Das behauptest Du offensichtlich nur so, Du kannst ja selbst jetzt nicht aufzeigen, was dann an Deinem Codeschnipsel oben eine besondere Lösung sein soll. Das ist doch nur Gelaber.

Apache "Friends" my ass.

Das ist mir total wumpe, ich bin kein Apache Friend. Du kannst gerne weiter herumtrollen hier, lernen tust Du davon nichts. Und mit verstehen sieht es auch ganz schlecht aus. Du verstehst so wenig, dass Du nicht einmal verstehst, warum Du nichts verstehst.
