Installing on a localhost * 2. Installing on a service running the Windows Operating System * Based on the error it appears you are installing on a service running the Windows Operating System. * Generally at this point the Quick Start Guide is able to make automatic changes to the plugin in order to allow it to run on a local host. Basically, the Quick Start Guide is letting the Dashboard plugin to know where the openssl.cnf file is. This is usually c:\xampplite\apache\conf\openssl.cnf. * However, if you skipped the Quick Start Guide or your your openssl.cnf is in a different place then you will need to make the changes manually.
