cURL error 60: ssl certification issue when attempting to use symfony

Question

I have recently gotten a new windows computer and have installed the php symfony framework.

When attempting to use the new command C:> php symfony new blog<

Answer 1

I had the same error with the php version 7.0.10

The mistake I did was that I copyied the certificate (cacert.pem) in the wrong php.ini file. I mean, I have 3 type of ini file: php-development.ini, php-production.ini and php.ini

and the right one was php.ini

Make sure you put the path of the certificate in the right one.

And it will work ! ;) lovely symfony <3

you can try the the command line below,it's worked for me

composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition my_project_name "2.8.*"

Answer 3

Follow this link, Copy the entire page and save it in a: "cacert.pem"

Then in your php.ini file insert or edit the following line: curl.cainfo = "[pathtothisfile]\cacert.pem"

Or

use composer instead Symfony installer
