Im trying to change the ports that XAMPP listen on in the https port. I am modifying the httpd-ssl.conf file. I have changed the 

Listen 443 to Listen 8483

I also changed the 

<VirtualHost _default_:443> to <VirtualHost _default_:8483>

and 

ServerName www.example.com:443 to localhost:8483

but when I try to access the localhost:8483 I am getting a bad request

enter image description here

  • did you restart the server? XAMPP in your case – CodeGodie Sep 02 '17 at 06:16
  • Yes I restart XAMPP everytime I make any changes to the config files – nanj Sep 02 '17 at 06:22
  • wait, doesnt XAMPP have a GUI interface to change the ports? have you tried that? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11294812/how-to-change-xampp-apache-server-port – CodeGodie Sep 02 '17 at 06:25
  • There may also be a ports.conf file. I'm running true LAMP on linux, and it's at /etc/apache2/ports.conf . https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3940909/configure-apache-to-listen-on-port-other-than-80 – Brian Gottier Sep 02 '17 at 06:29
  • Yea true LAMP is the way to go. I use Docker for all my apps. – CodeGodie Sep 02 '17 at 06:30

I know it's an old question, but I just ran into it again...

Make sure you put "https://" into your browser's address bar. If you use port 443, then the browser automatically assumes https, if you use any other port, it doesn't. So if you just enter

localhost:8483

into your address bar, the browser uses HTTP to access an HTTPS port - so you get a "bad request". Make sure you use

https://localhost:8483/

in your address bar.

1) change in "httpd.conf"
Listen 8483
ServerName localhost:8483

2) change in "httpd-ssl.conf"
Listen 8483
VirtualHost default:8483
ServerName localhost:8483

3)Restart the Apache Server.
