Configuring SSL in xampp for a webapp

[vikram8jp]

hello all,

I want to configure ssl in xampp for my webapp which I made using cakephp. I am using windows XP. I have successfully configured the SSL for the folders like phpmyadmin, security, xampp and webalizer.

But I am having problems in configuring xampp to apply SSL for my webapp. My webapp structure is like this:

D:/
--+ webapp
----+ htdocs
------+ js
------+ css
------+ index.php
------+ .htaccess
----+ code
------+ company
--------+ cake
--------+ config
--------+ controllers
--------+ models
--------+ views
--------+ index.php
--------+ app_controller.php

All my code resides in the code/company folder. I want to secure that.

Here is what I wrote in my apache/conf/extra/httpd-xampp.conf file

Code: Select all

   Alias / "D:/webapp/htdocs/"
   <Directory "D:/webapp/htdocs/">
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
      SSLRequireSSL
   </Directory>

What this did, it shows the page correctly when I type https://localhost/, but when I press some line it shows access forbidden. I did make any particular changes in apache/conf/httd.conf file for this. What am I doing wrong?

Can somebody help me out with this?

thanks and regards
Vikram
