ssl

I followed these instructions to create self-signed ssl: http://www.visualwin.com/SelfSSL/ (I opened SelfSSL and typed selfssl /T) When I access https: //localhost/ than it works, but when I try to access it remotely (i set up my router to port forward to localhost), for example https: //myip the page does not load. Also, I noticed one other thing. When I access localhost locally then I am asked to enter user/pass, but if I access remotely the I get the following warning:

Under Construction The site you were trying to reach does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured. ...

I don't know if it is related with this but I hope someone know the answer.

Thanks, Ile
