Laravel 4与Composer一起安装

Question

I wanted to try out the Laravel 4 but, unfortunately, got stuck at the very beginning. When I try to install it using composer as mentioned in the Laravel 4 documentation, I get the following error:

[Composer\\Downloader\\TransportException] The " http://nodeload.github.com/laravel/laravel/zip/v4.0.5 " file could not be downloaded: failed to open stream: Unable to find the socket transport "SSL" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

I have PHP 5.5.0 with OpenSSL 0.9.8x running on a Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Does anyone have a clue how on earth I can fix this?

I have tried googling through all of the dark corners of the internet, 2006 forums but to no avail......

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1

Edit your php.ini file and add

extension=php_openssl.dll

and then restart the apache and your ssl should be detected.

Hope this will help.

Answer 2

If you are using WAMP you should edit php.ini in your Apache folder. for some reason composer uses that php.ini instead of php.ini stored in php folder.
