Configure the Apache Virtual Host and SSL Based on the local DNS service in Windows XP

Not long ago, I configured Apache's local SSL and virtual host in Ubuntu, and then tried to implement the same configuration in Windows XP, So I encountered a lot of difficulties and obstacles.

Configuring DNS in Ubuntu is very simple. You only need to modify the host file. In XP, many services are not installed by default because they are not server operating systems. The DNS service requires additional installation.

This article describes how to configure the DNS service, Apache Virtual Host, and SSL.

1. Configure the DNS Service

1. Click Start> Run, enter C:/Windows/INF/netoc. inf, and press Enter. Note that Windows is the directory where you install XP.

2. The [optional components] section contains the following content:

[Optional components]
Netoc; top level option
Netservices
Fileandprint
SNMP
......

Add 1 line under netservices
DNS

Save and exit.

3. Copy the netdns. inf file to the C:/Windows/INF directory. The netdns. inf file is included in the DNS compressed package downloaded later.

4. Restart the machine and choose "Control Panel"> "add and delete program"> "add windows component"> "network service". The hidden Domain Name Service System (DNS) is displayed, and click "Install.

5. During the installation process, you will need to insert the system installation disk because you need to install some components in the server system. There may be a few installation files. If you do not have a system CD, download an ISO image file from the Internet. The files extracted by the DNS service have been uploaded to csdn. You can download them at the following link:
