Ignition gateway was running without any issue. When I attempt to do some settings on SSL, it got disconnected. it is localhost:8088.  
I checked the gateway.xml file "False" it seems to be okay.

This is the gateway page image

I checked Ignition service, it stopped. Even, if I start again, while attempting to open gateway, the service is getting stopped.

You will need to examine the `wrapper.log` file in the installation folder. That is where you can find relevant log information when Ignition breaks entirely.

FWIW, SSL is inappropriate and almost impossible to configure for localhost. You need to use a DNS name that maps in your infrastructure to your host's LAN IP address.
