I have separately followed (and then reverted) the instructions here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6318467/configuring-mamp-for-ssl

and also here:

http://themetaq.com/articles/configure-local-mamp-https-connection

and also here:

http://www.emersonlackey.com/article/mamp-with-ssl-https

I have generated the CRT file and the KEY file without any issue. I feel confident that all the paths are correct per the tutorials. But the page will not load.

Using the MAMP PRO 3.0.6 UI, in Hosts>SSL, it's not at all clear how to get past the grayed-out SSL checkbox. It is not encouraging that in the screenshot in the rather meager documentation, the SSL checkbox option is also grayed out (!):

I'd like to use the same self-signed certificate for a variety of hosts, which seems like it should be easily possible. (I have filed a ticket with MAMP, and received no response.)

I had this same problem, and I suddenly realized the reason is that you can't set up SSL using localhost as your hostname. You need to have some kind of domain. Since I'm using OS X, my computer is called something like computer.local, so I added that host, generated the crt/key files and then set everything up -- the SSL checkbox is available and I am able to connect with SSL.
