SSL Problem

[thunderaeroi]

Greetings, I hope you can help me.

I created a test SSL certificate with the makcert.bat file and everything was created correctly as far as I can tell. I am having two problems which I hope you can help with with.

1). When I use a URL like Http://www.website.com/this, the webpage will load correctly; however, if I try with the SSL (https) the following happens:

a). the certificate error for IE comes up asking if I want to continue, and;
b). It says it can not find the page, even though i know its there and http: can find it.

2). When i point to https://www.website.com, it asks for a password to access the page. Why is that?

Does anyone have any ideas, thanks!


edit/update:

it looks like when you are in SSL mode everything is based on the root for xampp. For example

http://www.website.com/this - works
https://ipaddress/www.website.com/this - works (still has certificate error though)

why does it do that?

edit/update:

Looks like i fixed the location problem by changing the starting folder in https-ssl.conf.

Now, the question is - how do you prevent directory access when not in SSL mode?
