Step 1: Edit Hosts File

1. Open Notepad as administrator. Run as administrator
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.
3. Open the hosts file.
4. Add the following line at the end of the file:127.0.0.1 project1.web
5. Save the file.

Step 2: Create SSL Certificate

1. Open Command Prompt as administrator. (Search for Command Prompt, right-click, and select "Run as administrator")

2. Navigate to the XAMPP SSL directory by running:

   cd C:\xampp\apache\bin
   

3. Generate a self-signed SSL certificate:

   openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout project1.web.key -out project1.web.crt
   

   Follow the prompts to fill in the certificate information.

Step 3: Configure Virtual Host

1. Navigate to the Apache configuration directory:

   cd C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra
   

2. Open the httpd-vhosts.conf file in a text editor.

3. Add the following configuration:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName project1.web
       DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/your_project"
       <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/your_project">
           Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           Require all granted
       </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>
   
   <VirtualHost *:443>
       ServerName project1.web
       DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/your_project"
       <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/your_project">
           Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           Require all granted
       </Directory>
   
       SSLEngine on
       SSLCertificateFile "C:/xampp/apache/conf/ssl/project1.web.crt"
       SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:/xampp/apache/conf/ssl/project1.web.key"
   </VirtualHost>
   

   Replace "C:/xampp/htdocs/your_project" with the actual path to your project.

Step 4: Restart Apache

1. Save the file and close the text editor.
2. Restart Apache from the XAMPP Control Panel.

Step 5: Test

You should now be able to access your project using the URL https://project1.web in your browser.

Step 1: Edit Hosts File

1. Open Terminal.

2. Open the hosts file by running:

   sudo nano /etc/hosts
   

3. Add the following line at the end of the file:

   127.0.0.1   project1.web
   

   Save the file by pressing Ctrl + O, then press Enter, and exit by pressing Ctrl + X.

Step 2: Create SSL Certificate

1. Open Terminal.

2. Navigate to the Apache SSL directory:

   cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/ssl
   

3. Generate a self-signed SSL certificate:

   sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout project1.web.key -out project1.web.crt
   

   Follow the prompts to fill in the certificate information.

Step 3: Configure Virtual Host

1. Open Terminal.

2. Navigate to the Apache configuration directory:

   cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra
   

3. Create a new virtual host configuration file:

   sudo nano project1.web.conf
   

4. Add the following configuration:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName project1.web
       DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/your_project"
       <Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/your_project">
           Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           Require all granted
       </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>
   
   <VirtualHost *:443>
       ServerName project1.web
       DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/your_project"
       <Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/your_project">
           Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           Require all granted
       </Directory>
   
       SSLEngine on
       SSLCertificateFile "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/ssl/project1.web.crt"
       SSLCertificateKeyFile "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/ssl/project1.web.key"
   </VirtualHost>
   

   Replace "/Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/your_project" with the actual path to your project.

Step 4: Enable Virtual Host

1. Open Terminal.

2. Open the Apache configuration file httpd.conf:

   sudo nano /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf
   

3. Uncomment the line:

   Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
   

Step 5: Restart Apache

1. Save the file and exit the editor.

2. Restart Apache from XAMPP control panel.

Step 6: Test

You should now be able to access your project using the URL https://project1.web in your browser.

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout project1.web.key -out project1.web.crt -config "D:\laragon\bin\apache\httpd-2.4.58-240131-win64-VS17\conf\openssl.cnf"

On the XAMPP installations, the openssl.cnf file usually can be found here: C:\xampplite\apache\conf\openssl.cnf

If you dont have your XAMPP installed on the C drive, just edit the beginning of the path. In some cases, Apache version number is included in the path too, for example: D:\xampplite\apache2.4.9\conf\openssl.cnf

On the WAMP installations, the openssl.cnf file usually can be found here: C:\wamp\bin\apache2.4.9\conf\openssl.cnf

On the MAMP installations, the openssl.cnf file usually can be found here: C:\MAMP\bin\apache\conf\openssl.cnf

On the Laragon installations, the openssl.cnf file usually can be found here: C:\laragon\bin\apache\httpd-2.4.47-win64-VS16*\conf\openssl.cnf
