Install Composer on MAMP on Windows

Question

So here is the issue I'm getting:

I'm trying to install Composer and I'm using MAMP on Windows (it does exist since the beginning of January).

And like many users of Composer on Windows, I've got this error :

Some settings on your machine make Composer unable to work properly.
Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again:

The openssl extension is missing, which means that secure HTTPS transfers are impossible.
If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl"

So I checked on the right php.ini page if it was unabled and it was!

I can't find any help since there are very few users of MAMP on Windows.

Thank you for your help or suggestions

Answer 1

1. Open php.ini located in your "\MAMP\conf\" folder or copy the php.ini into a \MAMP\bin\php\php[your PHP version number]\
2. Find "extension=php_openssl.dll"
3. ;extension=php_openssl.dll - remove ";"
4. Restart your MAMP , extension should be loaded after that.
