Unable to find the socket transport “ssl” – did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

Check your php.ini file, on it, if you have this:

;extension=php_openssl.dll

change it to

extension=php_openssl.dll

After that, remember to restart Apache, either using any control panel that Appserver offers, or using the services windows on the control panel of the system.

Also be sure that php_openssl.dll is on a folder that the system can reach, many people use to solve the problem of dll location problems by copying them to C:\windows or C:\windows\system32. Although that shouldn’t be necessary.

After that, execute a file with phpinfo and check that it’s enabled.

I have read somewhere, can’t pinpoint it, that some installation of that kind of wamps have more that one php.ini, but only one is really active, could it be that you have edited the wrong one?
