Please i am trying to practice development of website that would run on https on my localhost webserver. But i dont know how to install my openssl. I have my own self signed certificate and openssl installer. Can some one give my practical steps to do this.
Just run the installer. That installs openssl.
To run through https you need to edit whatever you’re using for the webserver which you could prob find in its manual
The openssl folder that i downloaded is a zip file i hav extracted and it comes with no setup, but it as a bin, include, lib folder and a file named openssl.cnf. I think i am just supposed to copy and paste it in the wamp server. but i dont know exactly were I am to paste. If i am wrong please enlighten me.
This should help:

Thanks alot for the link. But I am having problems signing my certificate with openssl. The message below is displayed. I am very sure that I am entering the rite commands.
This is the last command I enter after creating my csr file
openssl x509 -in webserver.csr -out webserver.cert -req -signkey webserver.key -days 365
