i wasn't able to access localhost via https without danger notice & valid https certificate
i searched too many to find a solution to access my localhost using my domain and https , for 7 days , resolving dns, resolving httpd.conf https problems, creating self signed certificates, to do it without any danger notice when visiting it from my domain ..
Error.log was give me these warrnings
[warn] RSA server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?)
[warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `localhost' does NOT match server name!?
[warn] Init: Name-based SSL virtual hosts only work for clients with TLS server name indication support (RFC 4366)
My Simple Solution Steps:
1.
change ServerName in httpd.conf file
ServerName localhost
with your domain
ServerName example.com
2.
change ServerName with your domian in httpd-ssl.conf file too
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/your/site/files/patch"
3.
change ServerName with your domian in httpd-vhost.conf file too like this
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot "C:/your/site/files/patch"
4. signup in cloudflare, change your domain nameservers with cloudflare nameservers in your domain provider dns page
5. create cloudflare free ssl certificate & key and save them in the default web server application certificate & key files .. , i am using apache so i saved it in
C:/apache/conf/ssl/server.crt
C:/apache/conf/ssl/server.key
6. restart your web application service and try to visit your domain :)
my lesson tags are: apache | xampp | cloudflare | ssl | dns | localhost | https , but i can't add them all :)
Message to admin: i hope to just mark it as closed or resolved to help people who search for this , thanks to all.
