Currently, I am doing a project on laravel5.

 RequestException in CurlFactory.php line 162:
cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)

I have searched on internet and done following changes but didn't helped

  • downloaded cart.pem file

My code of in controller

public function fb()  
{
    return Socialize::with('facebook')->redirect();
}
public function cb()    //callback for facebook

I just spent a number of hours grappling with this. The correct answer is

"indeed to put the cacert.pem file and amend the php.ini file to match as suggested by Moez above. ..... but I kept on getting CURL error 60's The trick was getting a clean copy of the PEM file! Any method involving windows notepad or other editors corrupts the file and gives the cURL error 60 etc. Finally I found https://gist.github.com/VersatilityWerks/5719158/download and downloaded a tar file with a clean copy of the cacert.pem file ...... it then all worked perfectly."

And since you are working on Windows, this could be the problem.

While on local-host with Laravel you can easily bypass cURL error.

navigate to Client.php file (vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Client.php)

Change "verify" to false

$defaults = [
        'allow_redirects' => RedirectMiddleware::$defaultSettings,
        'http_errors'     => true,
        'decode_content'  => true,
        'verify'          => false,
        'cookies'         => false
    ];

For anyone pulling their hair out saying "I'VE DOWNLOADED A PRISTINE cacert.pem FILE, PUT IT IN THE CORRECT LOCATION, SET curl.cainfo CORRECTLY, AND RESTARTED MY APACHE SERVER BUT IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!?!?"... If you're using php-fpm then service apache2 restart and service apache2 reload will not update the reference and you'll continue to get error 60. If you intentionally point curl.cainfo to a bad path, you will not get the expected error 77 (first clue).

To restart php-fpm and update that reference (without rebooting the whole server), use service php-fpm restart or service php5-fpm restart or service php7-fpm restart or service php7.0-fpm restart, etc, depending on your php version. Hope this helps save someone time.

After so much of research i found the best solution for this. You just need to make verification false in the vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/Client.php file .

    $defaults = [
        'allow_redirects' => RedirectMiddleware::$defaultSettings,
        'http_errors'     => true,
        'decode_content'  => true,
        'verify'          => true, // make this false
        'cookies'         => false,
        'idn_conversion'  => true,
    ];

well it may sometimes be confusing. when you check the php.ini file you will see ;curl.cainfo = “certificate path\cacert.pem” you have to note there is a semicolon in front. remove that and all the quotes marks, and simple put the file path to look like this curl.cainfo = C:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem as you can see my cacert.pem is in the path C:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem thats where it should be . save and restart your server.

You can disable SSL

composer config disable-tls true
composer config secure-http false
composer clearcache

After that execute = composer install
