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

Verify you are editing the correct php.ini file.

Reference: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/1440

"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-X.Y.Z\php.ini to enable it for the CLI."

Answer 2

make sure you have correct path to extension folder

extension_dir = "ext"

by default it is commented with ; character

Answer 3

I have faced this problem, but configuging openssl (also for cli) did not help.

I have updated composer and this sloved my problem.

Just type:

$ php composer.phar self-update

or

$ composer selfupdate

Good luck!

Answer 4

Uttam, if your issue is not solved then try the follwoing 3 step approach. It worked for me as I had exactly same issue.

step1: click on wamp tray icon.

step2: goto menu apache->apache modules

step3: click on menu item "ssl_module"

it will automatically restart wamp. if wamp not restarted automatically then restart it through wamp tray menu-> Restart All services. After restart confirm that "ssl_module" coming as ticked under menu apache->apache modules

after that just attempt the php composer.phar install from going through the response shared by you, php.ini file contains extension=php_openssl.dll and the php/ext directory also have file "php_openssl.dll"

good luck

Answer 5

Becareful if you are using wamp don't use the wamp ui to enable the extension=php_openssl.dll

just go to your php directory , for example : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12 and edit the php.ini and uncomment the extension=php_openssl.dll.

it should work.

Answer 6

Make sure that you update your php.ini for CLI. For my case this was C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.ini and uncomment extension=php_openssl.dll line.
