Apache Friends Support Forum

I extracted XAMPP and started Apache to find OpenSSL was not enabled. Thats fine, but normally I would go to the xampp\apache\bin and find the php.ini file and remove the ; from the extension=php_openssl.dll line and but it wasn't there. That's what I did before, and what help I found explained that's what you should do. Unable to find it I decided to add the extension=php_openssl.dll line to the extensions part of the php.ini in xampp\php.

Not a big problem. It works now, but I was wondering if it alright to do it that way? Should I have done it differently?

Thank you for your time in advance.

First: You are in the german section of this Board. Next time before you post be sure you are at the right place!

There is only one php.ini file in the latest releases of XAMPP. So thats the correct file to make changes.
What Version of XAMPP are you using? Normally SSL should be enabled by default.

I apologize. Kind of new to the whole forum thing, my mistake.

I'm using 1.7.4.

Yes, I thought it would be too. Though, it wasn't witch led to why I had to add the line to the php.ini. It works now though.
