I have the current version of XAMPP (5.6.8 ) running without a hitch; my website runs perfectly on my localhost, etc.

However, the Apache error.log routinely reports these errors/warnings, apparently specific to SSL:

Code: Select all

What is causing these errors/warnings, and how do I stop them?

Others have posted this message in conjunction with XAMPP *failing* to execute and run a localhost and their website; that's not the case with me: localhost is running, and my site loads correctly. BUT: I don't like seeing these error/warning messages, and I can't find a cause nor a solution for them.

Many thanks for your help.

XAMPP is configured with a dummy SSL configuration to test the SSL responses. This dummy can not match your local XAMPP environment, because you would need to have a self signed certificate matching this configuration.

Either Configure SSL yourself starting with creating certificates, etc.
or disabling https by commenting out the line Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf in your Apache httpd.conf

This message is in no case the reason for such problems. XAMPPs Apache will run without any negative influences.

Thanks! Doing that suppressed those ssl:warn messages. However, those were then replaced with these warning messages in httpd.conf:

Code: Select all

[Mon Apr 27 09:47:47.017345 2015] [ssl:warn] [pid 2036:tid 460] AH01873: Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]
[Mon Apr 27 09:47:48.627010 2015] [ssl:warn] [pid 2356:tid 360] AH01873: Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]

To suppress those, I discovered I also had to rem-out this line:

Code: Select all

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

...and that eliminated all the SLL warning messages. Many thanks for helping me!
