You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https

Question

I wanted to install Zend Framework 2. So I downloaded the skeleton application. As mentioned in the ZF2 manual, we have to issue the command

Answer 1

I use XAMPP. In C:\xampp\php\php.ini, the entry for openssl did not exist, so I added "extension=php_openssl.dll" on line 989, and composer worked.

Answer 2

I had to uncomment extension=openssl in php.ini file for everything to work!

Answer 3

PHP CLI SAPI is using different php.ini than CGI or Apache module.

Find line ;extension=php_openssl.dll in wamp/bin/php/php#.#.##/php.ini and uncomment it by removing the semicolon (;) from the beginning of the line.

Answer 4

You need to enable "extension=php_openssl.dll" in both files (php and apache). my pc files path are these :

1. C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13\php.ini

2. C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini

Answer 5

The Valery's answer helped me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14265815/492457

WAMP uses different php.ini files in the CLI and for Apache. when you enable php_openssl through the WAMP UI, you enable it for Apache, not for the CLI. You need to modify C:\wamp\bin\php\php-5.4.3\php.ini to enable it for the CLI.

Answer 6

Late answer but adding so other can learn the reason.

You also need to edit the php.ini file in the "wamp\bin\php\php-X.Y.Z" location.
