I have been trying to install Laravel framework on WAMP. I been following the steps from http://laravel.com/ and Installing Laravel 4.1 in Windows 7 // Make .phar file globally available to windows command line

When i run the command composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist , getting the error message [RuntimeException] You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https

But i have enabled openssl in php.ini by removing the comment sign. Please help

  • Please check with phpinfo(); that openssl is enabled and working. – Atrakeur Feb 26 '14 at 13:50
  • I must recommend using `laravel.phar`. Just make `php.exe` accessible to the command line, and then run `php laravel.har new` or `php laravel.har new awesome_app`. – Mike Rockétt Feb 26 '14 at 14:26

If you are using WAMPServer here is the problem:

WAMPServer's PHP CLI ( Command Line Interface ) i.e. running php.exe from command line uses a different php.ini to the one used by PHP in Apache.

Edit \wamp\bin\php\php5.x.y\php.ini

Activate the extensions you require the PHP CLI to have access to in the usual way i.e. remove the comment ';' from the extension=php_xxxx.dll line.

Wamp uses 2 php.ini first one that you changed from the Wamp panel and second one that located on Apache folder. i think on the wamp/bin/apache/bin make sure to enable openssl on both and restart the Wamp.

This worked for me. Hope this helps you.

  • Install Laravel Framework in Windows *PHP version greater than 5.3.7 is required.
  • Download Laravel from: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/archive/master.zip.
  • Extract Laravel into the www folder for WAMP.
  • Download Composer from: https://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe
  • Enable openssl from all php.ini files
  • Install Composer into the same directory php.exe is located.
  • Click on WAMP icon->PHP->PHP Extensions and enable: php_openssl, php_curl, php_socket.
  • Click on wamp icon->Apache->Apache Modules and enable ssl_module
  • Open cmd.
  • Change into the directory where you extracted Laravel e.g: cd C:\wamp\www\laravel.
  • Type the command: composer install.
  • Installation completed.
  • Open httpd.conf file
  • Add these lines after Include "c:/wamp/alias/"* Listen 8000 DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www/laravel/public
  • Open Browser and go to localhost:8000

You follow given Only 1 step and install laravel 5 and composer in your machine

when you run above command it will automatically install composer and laravel  

OPTIONAL:
if error your configuration does not allow connection to 
http//packages.firegento.com in cmd follow this command :  
  composer config -g secure-http false
