Apache - Self assigned SSL Help

How would I self assign a SSL Cert on Apache (XAMPP) on a Windows 2003 server? I have researched and the farest I got was a broken SSL Cert with "Common name" problem.

Post your guide or links here,

Thanks.

If you are in development and using localhost, the common name of your ssl certificate should be localhost. If you are using a machine that uses dns (or the hosts file) you should use that host name as the certificate common name (cn). E.g. if you are using www.mydomain.com you should create a certificate with that name. You can also create a certificate with the name *.mydomain.com that you should be able to use on all subdomains of mydomain.com. You may want to read this tuturial on the subject.
