SSL issue after pear channel-update pear.php.net

Question

I have XAMPP on Windows7. after update the pear.php.net channel with:

pear channel-update pear.php.net

and try for installing new packages, for example pecl install zmq , encountered with following message and can not install any package:

Connection to 'ssl://pecl.php.net:443' failed: Unable to find the socket 
transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

I very searched in net and tried to solve it but cannot resolve it. can anyone help me for resolve that and what is the reason?

Answer 1

recently I faced this issue with macOS Sierra with XAMPP 7.0

I updated pecl channel wiht

sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net

and then I was getting

Connection to `ssl://pecl.php.net:443' failed:

My solution is as below

run php -r "print_r(openssl_get_cert_locations());"

check default_cert_file path

then download certificate from http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem rename it and place it at default_cert_file path

then try pecl list-all

it should work fine
