How to create a SSL certificate on Mac for my Wordpress blog installation on localhost (OS X Yosemite)?

Fri, 20 Jan 2017 02:48:29 +0000

I created a clone of my Wordpress blog on my Mac copying the exact files and the site structure as well as the database.

The front page of the blog shows up alright, however I can't access wp-admin/ and can't access wp-login.php either. Instead I get the error:

Safari Can’t Open the Page

Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mynewawesomeblog.com/wp-login.php” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.mynewawesomeblog.com”.

Since Safari says it can't establish a secure (https) connection, I understand I need a local SSL certificate.

My question is how can I create one?

add the following after line 80 and before line 82 in wp-config.php

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

This way, after line 68 till the end of my wp-config it's liket he following:

/**

* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.

* Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.

* It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG

* in their development environments.

* For information on other constants that can be used for debugging,

* visit the Codex.

* @link https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */

require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

After successfully editing and saving the configuariton file like above, you should see a menu item called 'Network Setup' in Tools section of your Wordpress admin screen.
