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 I receive the error message [GuzzleHttp\Ring\Exception\RingException] cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate.

I am clueless on what to do in this instance as I am not too experienced with the CMD interface.

I need to know if this is an error with windows or with symfony itself and any possible routes I could take in fixing it.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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
