Solution
Note: I am running OS X Yosemite. I believe this works with Mavericks too.
After looking a several answers and combining them mixing and matching etc. Here is a rough explanation on what I did.
- Open the command line and run:
`locate cacert.pem`
This will list all the locations where your certificates are.
My result:
/Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Certs/cacert.pem
/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/python2.7/test/pycacert.pem
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/cacert.pem
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/test/pycacert.pem
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/test/test_asyncio/pycacert.pem
/Users/robert/.composer/cacert.pem
/opt/vagrant/embedded/cacert.pem
/usr/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
- I downloaded the most recent one from curl
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
- I made a directory in `/usr/ssl/certs/`
and put the downloaded cert there `/usr/ssl/certs/cacert.pem`
I opened up my php.ini file and placed this line at the top of the file: `openssl.cafile=/usr/ssl/certs/cacert.pem`
Restart apache (stop apache and start it again)
Everything worked out for me.
Now one thing that I do believe needs to be done is you need to tell the command line which PHP you are referring to. I am running PHP under XAMPP and not natively on my OS X. So the command line will think that you are referring to the native PHP on OS X and not the one running on XAMPP. This needs to be changed I believe for this to work. If not then it should be good.
As mentioned this solution worked for me.
Problem
I am using OS X Yosemite I ran the following command in Composer because Laravel fails to download and install properly all the time: `composer diagnose` result: ``` Checking platform settings: OK Checking git settings: OK Checking http connectivity to packagist: OK Checking https connectivity to packagist: FAIL [Composer\Downloader\TransportException] The "https://packagist.org/packages.json" file could not be downloaded: SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed Failed to enable crypto failed to open stream: operation failed Checking github.com rate limit: FAIL [Composer\Downloader\TransportException] The "https://api.github.com/rate_limit" file could not be downloaded: SSL operation failed with code 1.

OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed Failed to enable crypto failed to open stream: operation failed ``` The main line I want to focus on is: ``` SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed Failed to enable crypto ``` How can I fix this. I have tried several solutions on the web and none have worked. I am totally new to the use of the command line. When downloading and installing Laravel with the following command: `composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist` can't I just manually download the stuff myself and place it in the correct folder to avoid this SSL problem?
