What did you already tried to activate HTTPS?

[Daaclaan]

I tried to edit the httpd.conf and the httpd-xampp.conf. Removing the # where necessary. Every time I try apache doesn't start in the control panel and I have to uninstall and reinstall camp. Stressing. Any other way?

You need to get (i.e. to buy) an certificate for your domain.

Apache tells exactly why it cannot start, either in the error.log file or as output if you try to start the binary directly.

[Daaclaan]

Yes I made a certificate with cmd on windows. That can't be just it or is it?

[Daaclaan]

It says it either crashed or some pathway has been blocked

I switched on SSL with virtualHost and changed the port to 443. but everytime i put https:// infront of the webpage/localhost. i get NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
