Help. How to make HTTPS service possible?

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

Help. How to make HTTPS service possible?

Post by raymond »

Hi, every body.

I am very fresh on SSL, HTTPS usage in PHP.
I have tried to set up HTTPS server on Apahce 2.2 in windows platform, but failed.

I tried to follow guidance in http://www.devx.com/opensource/Article/ ... 763/page/2
But I could not download file < Apache_2.0.48-Openssl_0.9.7c-Win32.zip > from hunter site.
I hope someone to help me on how to make HTTS service possible on windows.

And one question, if I set HTTPS server, do I need to do PHP coding in different way from usual way?
From my knowledge, HTTPS server monitors port 443, then does it have anything to do with coding and distribution PHP files?

Look forward to kind answer.
Thanks very much.

You don't have todo anything else with php. apache handles all behind the scenese. I guess apache.org should have documentation on howto start ssl.

So you mean I don t have to do something special to make my PHP files running on HTTPS service, don't you.

Thanks for you kind reply jmut.
