I am studying using SSL on my website with my PC localhost server.
Before I consider to buy a trusted Certification SSL from thrid party , I
would like to do self-sign SSL certification test before wasting my money and
purchase the trusted Cert.
I install XAMPP 1.7.7 on my window-xp comptuer. And it is no problem at
all and my xampp status menu page also show php, HTTPS, mysql database are
all activiated. So it is fine. So I am going to get a self-sign SSL certification from
the following example links,
http://www.opencodez.com/apache/ssl-certificate-and-install-in-xampp.htm
http://www.devx.com/opensource/Article/20085/1763/page/2
http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/~jw35/docs/doing_ssl.html
http://www.mnxsolutions.com/apache/removing-a-passphrase-from-an-ssl-key.html
I'm working around those example link , all command is working but
not working when typing https://localhost in my browsers.
I set all related comman name and host to localhost. And it seems
the issue is at pass phrase but I tried to removing the pass phrase or
set the pass phrase into file and called it in httpd-ssl-conf. But all is
not working.
So version 1.7.7 of xampp, it should be more easier to enable https with
SSL certification usage, but it is not true. Spenting a lot time.
When I type https://localhost, all broswers(chrome, IE, firefox) give me
the security warning, " the website shown the security cert is NOT from the
trusted cert unit issue and suggest to close the web page and Don't
continue to browser the site OR continue going to website.
Please advise for solving the pass phraseing issue in SSL
When I type normal http://localhost without https that is normal working
When I type http://localhost:443/ that is also okay working but always NOT
working on https://localhost
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so is included in my httpd.conf
OPENSSL_CONF="c:/xampp/apa
Any comment after you review my attached three configure files for the problem
Thanks

Could you review my configure files again ?
Why remove 443, 443 is for https port, RIght ?

Your configuration servername localhost:443 might be the issue
get baretail, or windows 2003 Support tools where tail command is availalbe.

then attach to the access_log or error_log file from apache and then try to access https://localhost and see what is recorded in the log.
is same as before, warning is same

And I go to check c:\xammp\apache\logs\acces
about my browsering https//localthost
The issuse may be related to Broswer's firewall with my self-sign Cert CA SSL
The browser firewall block my attemp since the CA is not trusted, Is that right, how to fix it ?
Just go to broswer to import CA from my crt file

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
