Preventing 403 for SSL on localhost

Post by JAB Creations »

Early I had the problem of 403 forbidden when trying to access https://localhost/ in order to test something only tentatively relevant to SSL.

The fix was pretty simple: if you've edited httpd.conf then it's a simple issue of opening up apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf and changing the equivalent htdocs path.

You'll need to save the file and restart Apache for it to take effect. This worked for me using WAMP/XAMPP. Hope this saves others time. :)
