Fatal error: Call to undefined function openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()

Question

I am getting this exception when trying to run my PHP unit tests:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()

Answer 1

Your version of PHP wasn't compiled with the openssl module. If you are building from source, add the module like so:

cd /path/to/php-5.4/
./configure --with-openssl
