Local issuer certificate error

Question

I am using socialite and using google for OAuth. When I authorize the application which results in the following error.

I also used facebook where I get the same error. But I fixed it by creating cacert.pem and placing its path in php.ini. Then why I am getting this error with google. It should work with google as well but it is not.

OS: windows with XAMPP

might this help? http://stackoverflow.com/a/32095378/717181 problem is your php curl command does not have access to (valid) intermediate ca certificate files. — Luceos, Oct 05 '16 at 11:52

The reason you're seeing this is with socialite is that, underlying socialite use guzzlehttp, if you look at composer.json for socialite package.

"require": {
    "php": ">=5.4.0",
    "illuminate/contracts": "~5.0",
    "illuminate/http": "~5.0",
    "illuminate/support": "~5.0",
    "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~5.0|~6.0",
    "league/oauth1-client": "~1.0"
},

and guzzlehttp use curl for all kind of requests, now all the providers like facebook, google, twitter use O-Auth over https protocol.

To Solve

First of all download the ssl-certificates from https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html and save these. (click on cacert.pem)

Next goto [You XAMPP Installation]\php\php.ini and locate ;curl.cainfo=, un-comment this and give path of your downloaded certificate file like this.curl.cainfo=[Path to cacert.pem]\cacert.pem

Restart XAMPP and you're good to go.
