I am currently developing some applications on my local 'serverfarm'. I have set up ZendServer with Apache2 and PHP, which works very fine, and nothing unwanted happened until now:

Now I wanted to manage my MySQL databases with phpMyAdmin, because Sun's MySQL SQL tool seems to cause problems creating valid batches.

Working with PMA is not the problem, I am extremely used to work with PMA, if I could access it.

And this is my actual problem: My Firefox wants to tell me that he can not open a 'self-signed certificate'. I tried to work-around that by editing Firefox's ssl configurations, but it did NOT seem to work.

Now I have to change the servers' certificates, but I did not where to find the specific file, because I never had to worry about ssl or tls configurations.

When Firefox, or any other browser, has a problem with a certificate (expired, self-signed, invalid domain, etc) there is a dialog where you can add a security exception. You should be able to add a permanent exception for the warning.

If you continue to have issue, why not disable SSL? If it's just local development, what's the risk?

  • The problem is, that PMA is only reachable via https:// . This is ZendServer's security standard. – daemonfire300 Oct 16 '09 at 17:15
  • and by the way, I am sorry, but if I add localhost or any internal ethernet ip to the exceptions firefox still kicks me. – daemonfire300 Oct 16 '09 at 17:20
  • I'm not suggesting to add it to any exceptions list in the options, but when you actually hit the page. In my firefox (3.0.x on Linux) it says: "Secure Connection Failed The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. etc.." At the bottom is a blue link "Or you can add an exception..." - Is this what you are doing? – Kyle Smith Oct 16 '09 at 17:36
  • No, it says: (US) http://bit.ly/3Be37B (EU) http://imagr.eu/upload/issuer.png "self-signed etc. etc." – daemonfire300 Oct 16 '09 at 18:22

This is the correct solution.

I found this solution while cruising through stackoverflow.com

Thank you anyway.
