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
php composer.phar install Inside the skeleton.
But I'm getting an error
You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https
Then I enabled the ssl_module in my wamp, I checked the php_ini file and I can see the following line
extension=php_openssl.dll
Still I'm getting the same error. Anybody having any clue what I missed out?
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.
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."
make sure you have correct path to extension folder
extension_dir = "ext"
by default it is commented with ; character
I also had the same issue while playing around Zend Framework 2 and composer. I'm using PHP 5.4 (installed via macports) and my solution was to install openssl for PHP 5.4 via macports as well.
sudo port install php54-openssl
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.
You need to enable "extension=php_openssl.dll" in both files (php and apache). my pc files path are these :
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13\php.ini
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
