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

My error is:

cURL error 77: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: C:\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt CApath: none (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)

This works well for me:

1. Download the certificate from: https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
2. Rename the cacert.pem file into curl-ca-bundle.crt
3. Copy the file into path/to/xampp/apache/bin
4. Restart apache
