Laravel 5 Socialite - cURL error 77: error setting certificate verify locations
I am using socialite in Laravel 5 to setup facebook login. I followed the instructions carefully until I got stuck with the following error
cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
so I found the this answer to fix it which indeed passed but then I got this error
cURL error 77: error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/cacert.pem
CApath: none
Any ideas what's the cause of this error?! and how to fix it?!
Answer
I got stuck on this problem as well. It turned out that I had the path to my certificate set incorrectly in my php.ini file. Forgot the .txt extension.
What I had:
curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\php\cacert.pem"
What I changed it to:
curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\php\cacert.pem.txt"
Hope this helps.
