Answer 2

I read every thread I could find and this one provided the missing piece.

Background: I encountered this issue will trying to get Drupal 8 to check for available updates on a fresh development environment (wamp based).

1. Get a copy of the Certificate data from Mozilla, it can be found here: https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem If you want to know more about what this is read this: https://serverfault.com/questions/241046/what-is-the-cacert-pem-and-for-what-to-use-that
2. Save the file as "cacert.pem.txt" not as "cacert.pem" This was the missing piece, thanks LyleK!. I have no clue why but you must have the .txt extension on the end or it does not work.
3. Explicitly add the path to the location of the "cacert.pem.txt" file to your php.ini

Example:

[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo = "C:\wamp\custom\cacert.pem.txt"

If you are using a wamp stack restart it. You should be good to go.

Answer 3

It seems you forgot to add quote for the file path. I was got the same error (77), that was because i forgot to add quotes. I solved the problem by adding that. ex: "C:\AppServ\php\cacert.pem"

Answer 4

If anyone is running Windows with Plesk and they get this error.

You must ensure that the curl.cainfo path is inside the Plesk PHP directory otherwise you will get the error above even with the fix.

curl.cainfo = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP55\extras\ssl\cacert.pem.txt"

Fixed for me. Hope this helps someone, someday, somewhere.

Answer 5

I had the same issue and i tried every solution mentioned here and on other posts but none of them worked. I tried
1) Setting proper file rights ( didn't work )
2) Changing file extension ( didn't work)

then i moved the cacert.pem file inside php/ directory in xampp and restarted it, it worked. Hope it helps someone.

Answer 6

Add cacert.pem file from https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem in c:\xampp\php\cacert.pem

Change setting in php.ini file:

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