PHP OpenSSL extension not working while installing TYPO3 6.2.2 on Windows 7

apache, php, php-openssl, typo3, windows

Solution

Solution that worked for me on XAMPP and Windows Vista:

Activate the PHP module openssl

Open php.ini and uncomment(delete ';') in:

`;extension=php_openssl.dll`

Double-check that the extension is enabled by running phpinfo().

Add a system environment variable "OPENSSL_CONF" with value

`C:\xampp\apache\conf\openssl.cnf`

...assuming you installed xampp into C:\xampp.

Set path to 'openssl.exe', which is in C:\xampp\apache\bin

Either set `$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['binSetup']` in `...\htdocs\typo3_src-6.2.x\typo3\sysext\core\Configuration\DefaultConfiguration.php` to `'openssl=c:/xampp/apache/bin/openssl.exe'`

or append `c:\xampp\apache\bin` to the environment variable PATH (will work for every PHP script not only TYPO3)

Restart xampp
