Laravel 5 Socialite - cURL error 77: error setting certificate verify locations

Question

I am using socialite in Laravel 5 to setup facebook login. I followed the instructions carefully until I got stuck with the following error

cURL error 60: SS         


        

Answer 1

I got stuck on this problem as well. It turned out that I had the path to my certificate set incorrectly in my php.ini file. Forgot the .txt extension.

What I had:

curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\php\cacert.pem"

What I changed it to:

curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\php\cacert.pem.txt"

Hope this helps.
