Laravel undefined function openssl_encrypt()

Question

I use laravel5.1 and it works fine on php cli. But i publish my porject to apache(version == 2.4), the problem happened.

FatalErrorException in Encryp

Answer 1

as most point out, you need to uncomment openssl extension in php.ini.

I was struggling with the same too and i realized php is looking for extensions in "c:\php", but mine was a xampp installation. Pointing extension_dir in php.ini to correct php extension path; in my case "c:\xampp\php.7\ext" solved the issue.

Hope that helps somebody.
