Why does openssl_pkey_new() fail?

Question

I\'m very new to this. Why is openssl_pkey_new() returning false?

I am using XAMPP and there is a an OpenSSL under the Apahce\\bin director

Answer 1

Use openssl_error_string() to find out why openssl_pkey_new() is returning false (or any other OpenSSL error).

After your latest update, it appears that OpenSSL can't find the openssl.cnf file, as described here.
