Issue
I am trying to send an API request using Stripe but get the error message:
cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
This is the code I am running:
public function chargeStripe()
{
$stripe = new Stripe;
$stripe = Stripe::make(env('STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY'));
$charge = $stripe->charges()->create([
'amount' => 2900,
'customer' => Input::get('stripeEmail'),
'currency' => 'EUR',
]);
return Redirect::route('step1');
}
I searched a lot on Google and lots of people are suggesting that I download this file: cacert.pem, put it somewhere and reference it in my php.ini. This is the part in my php.ini:
curl.cainfo = "C:\Windows\cacert.pem"
Yet, even after restarting my server several times and changing the path, I get the same error message.
I have the ssl_module enabled in Apache, and I have php_curl enabled in my php.ini.
I have also tried this fix: How to fix PHP CURL Error 60 SSL
Which suggests that I add these lines to my cURL options:
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_CAINFO, dirname(__FILE__) . '/cacert.pem');
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
Where do I add options to my cURL? Apparently not through the command line, since my CLI doesn’t find the command "curl_setopt"
Solution
How to solve this problem:
-
download and extract cacert.pem following the instructions at https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html
-
save it on your filesystem somewhere (for example, XAMPP users might use
C:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem) -
in your php.ini, put this file location in the
[curl]section (putting it in the[openssl]section is also a good idea):
[curl]
curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"
[openssl]
openssl.cafile = "C:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"
- restart your webserver (e.g. Apache) and PHP FPM server if applicable
