Configuring MAMP for SSL

Question

Ok fellow coders, I am trying to configure MAMP with SSL on my mac for development purposes. I have read and tried the following instructions:

I just ran into the same problem but was able to fix it.

I'm running; Mac OS 10.6.7 MAMP 1.9.4

I have only read the tut from webopius which does a good job but it missed something.

I changed in the httpd.conf

Listen 80 not Listen 127.0.0.1:80

I also forgot to run this in the terminal
cp server.key server.tmp
openssl rsa -in server.tmp -out server.key

That removes the password needed to use the key, which if you don't start apache in the terminal, then you can't enter the pass phrase for the cert.

What you can do is, run this command to start apache for MAMP and see if any errors pop out.

sudo /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl start

Ok, think that covers about it.
