Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer or HTTPS is a URI scheme used to indicate a secure HTTP connection. It is syntactically identical to the http:// scheme normally used for accessing resources using HTTP. Using an https: URL indicates that HTTP is to be used, but with a different default TCP port (443) and an additional encryption/authentication layer between the HTTP and TCP. This system was designed by Netscape Communications Corporation to provide authentication and encrypted communication and is widely used on the World Wide Web for security-sensitive communication such as payment transactions and corporate information systems.
In this tutor guide for WAMP, we will show you how to create a self-signed HTTPS SSL certificate; then, how to implement this self-signed certificate into WAMP; then, obtain a FREE Trusted HTTPS SSL Certificate to replace the self-signed one.
I am using wamp 2.2.21. I have a trouble when i tick the PHP Extension->php_openssl, it write “could not execute menu item (internal error) [Exception] Could not perform service action: The service has not been started”.
What’s wrong? and my wampserver turn yellow from green.
Michael, make sure to have the correct lines of codes in file httpd-ssl.conf or just simply download our httpd-ssl.conf file
When trying to enable ssl module in apache, I get the following error message:
Could not execute menu item (internal error)[Exception] could not perform service action: The service has not been started
I have followed the instructions to the letter, only changing my Apache version from 2.2.8 as you have to 2.2.11.
Thanks for the help.
jim, post the last 10 lines of error log, please.
