got all services running but certifcate warning

[Dave A]

good i uninstalled apache service and xampp and reinstalled xampp. now i've got all services running and when i go to https.127.0.0.1 i get the following warning:
The site's security certificate is not trusted!
You attempted to reach 127.0.0.1, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated its own security credentials, which Google Chrome cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications. You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.
so what now? any help would be great as i'm a real newbie and old.

Just ignore this warning. It is a development environment, you do not need a real SSL Certificate (you would have to pay for). I don't have Chrome, but there should be a possibility to always trust this certificate. Just choose this option and you are fine.

thank you. i will ignore and proceed. however i have a virtual host site with a php index file named ec.localhost. when i type

Code: Select all

http://ec.localhost

i get the welcome page for xampp. so how do i proceed to see virtual host?

here's my vhosts.conf file so far:
f

Code: Select all

#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80


<VirtualHOst *:80

ServerName ec.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/ec/test"
ErrorLog "C:/xampp/htdocs/ec/test/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/xampp/htdocs/ec/test/logs/error.log" common
</VirtualHos>

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apach                 


is it correct as is?
