Hello, I'm trying to get my test server (Vista) to have SSL enabled. Here are the steps that I have taken.
1. Installed Apache (in Feb) has been working great, just doesn't work with SSL.
2. Went to and downloaded the zip file for Apache 2.2
3. Copied the files ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll from the Apache/modssl distribution directory to WINNT\System32.
4. Copied OpenSSL.exe into the "bin" folder
5. Copied mod_ssl.so into the "modules" folder
6. Uncommented the following line
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
7. Added the following towards the bottom
<IfModule ssl_module>
SSLMutex default
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
SSLSessionCache none
</IfModule>
8. One of my virtual hosts I changed to
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName mytestsite.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/ #SSL
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl/localhost.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl/localhost.key
</VirtualHost>
9. Changed Listen 80 to Listen 443 in httpd.conf
10. My certificate information is located in the correct folder. They were created by someone who actually knows what they are doing.
When I start Apache it starts and then immediately crashes. I get the following Windows error: "Apache HTTP Server stopped working and was closed".
If I comment out "SSLEngine on" everything works as it normally does.
Any help into this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
