Typo3 8.3.1 Could not access remote resource http://repositories.typo3.org/mirrors.xml.gz

Question

I cannot upate the extension list in TYPO3. This is the error he gives me:

Could not access remote resource http://repositories.typo3.org/mirrors.xml.gz.

I am running Windows 10. TYPO3 8.3.1 running on XAMPP v3.2.2 (PHP 7.0.9)

I tried several things, from editing the php.ini to editing the httpd.conf but nothing worked for me.

Thank you for you help!

I had the same issue and found a solution in this (german) comment here: https://www.pagemachine.de/blog/wie-ihr-typo3-8-0-als-lokales-testsystem-unter-windows-installiert-unser-tutorial/#div-comment-4718

You have to download and save this file: https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem . Then open your php.ini and enter the absolute path to this file for the option "curl.cainfo". So you have something like

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

There should be already a line ";curl.cainfo =", be sure to remove the semicolon in front to activate the option.

I just did this with TYPO3 8.7.0 and XAMPP 3.2.2 (PHP 7.0.15) and it worked immediately after restarting apache.
