Thank you so much for the detailed guide on setting up an SSL certificate in localhost for XAMPP! Your instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I was able to get everything working perfectly. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Happy you found it useful 💜 @McPherson49 @sajjad-mascot
My SSL certificate is not working. I followed the instructions exactly yet firefox keeps giving the security warning. When i click accept and continue (so that it adds it to the exceptions, it goes to https://localhost instead of my domain.
@JesperKnez Have you tried with a different browser such as Google Chrome?
This not working outside the server
@mohammedshajin As mentioned in the tutorial, the solution is meant to be used only in the context of local development.
