php - You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https

Question

I wanted to install Zend Framework 2. So I downloaded the skeleton application. As mentioned in the ZF2 manual, we have to issue the command

php composer.phar install 

Inside the skeleton.

But I'm getting an error

You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https

Then I enabled the ssl_module in my wamp, I checked the php_ini file and I can see the following line

extension=php_openssl.dll

Still I'm getting the same error. Anybody having any clue what I missed out?

Answer 1

PHP CLI SAPI is using different php.ini than CGI or Apache module.

Find line ;extension=php_openssl.dll in wamp/bin/php/php#.#.##/php.ini and uncomment it by removing the semicolon (;) from the beginning of the line.
