[FIXED] How to create a certificate for local development with SSL?

Issue

I am currently doing local development on a webproject using a LAMP stack. Since my production application will be using https for login, I'd like to be able to mimic this in my local dev environment so that all the url's remain consistent. I am new to ssl certificates so could anyone please point me to some reference on how to do this? Would I need to sign my own certificate? Where do I put the certificate (I have virtualhost configurations using apache)? Thanks.

Solution

I'm new here but go to this site and the information there
