I'm trying to install composer on Windows but I get the following error:

The "https://getcomposer.org/versions" file could not be downloaded: SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error: 1416F086: SSL routines: tls_process_server_certificate: certificate verify failed Failed to enable crypto failed to open stream: operation failed.

What's going on and how do I fix this?

    What happens if you try to go to that URL in the web browser on the server? – ceejayoz Jan 27 '18 at 01:42

    [This question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26148701/file-get-contents-ssl-operation-failed-with-code-1-and-more) seems related. But I *don't* think it's a duplicate. The answers their recommend changing the `file_get_contents()` call, but OP should not be required to modify the composer installation script to get this done. – HPierce Jan 27 '18 at 02:36
  • I have the same error on linode's [lamp stack docker container](https://hub.docker.com/r/linode/lamp/). It's pretty old though, using ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS – ConorSheehan1 Apr 05 '18 at 15:34

I have fixed it, the issue you have encountered seems to be related to a missing certificate.

You just need to add your certificate to end of this file:

C:\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt

Here's an example how to append the certificate:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

MIIDujCCAqKgAwIBAgILBAAAAAABD4Ym5g0wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAwTDEgMB4GA1UECxMXR2xvYmFsU2>lnbiBSb290IENBIC0gUjIxEzARBgNVBAoTCkdsb2JhbFNpZ24xEzARBgNVBAMTCkdsb2Jh bFNpZ24wHhcNMDYxMjE1MDgwMDAwWhcNMjE... (Your certificate)

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

I had the same error and this is how I solved the problem: I followed the instructions in https://getcomposer.org/download/, paragraph below Command-line installation

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '55ce33d7678c5a611085589f1f3ddf8b3c52d662cd01d4ba75c0ee0459970c2200a51f492d557530c71c15d8dba01eae') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

I replaced line php composer-setup.php by php composer-setup.php --disable-tls

I got the idea from reviewing the code in composer-setup.php where I found the option. I should have ran php composer-setup.php --help to find the same answer faster and without reading code.

If you are in private network(Restricted Networking) such as Organization, you have to update their certificate in the "curl-ca-bundle.crt", Copy Paste your organization certificate code in the bottom of the "C:\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt" file.

I had the same issue. You have to find below Certificate and install manually to Trusted root of "Current User/Local Computer".

C:\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt

As a quick workaround I could run composer through its docker image:

docker run --rm --interactive --tty \
  --volume $PWD:/app \
  composer/composer install

I was bitten by this on my local Ubuntu machine. For no apparent reason, composer would time out.

Experienced same issue and it was caused by VPN app that was running on my computer, exiting it fixed the issue.

I had to exit the VPN for it to work. Posting this for others who may need another alternative if nothing else seems to work.

I have same error, after a hour work, because my linux server not have ssl, is on public ip. I disable in code the request with https

Use this mode to download

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '55ce33d7678c5a611085589f1f3ddf8b3c52d662cd01d4ba75c0ee0459970c2200a51f492d557530c71c15d8dba01eae') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php composer.phar install

I edit file composer-setup.php /usr/src/a2billing/composer-setup.php line 755 remove https

$uriScheme = $this->disableTls ? 'http' : 'http';

and all done, the server can only request on http port 80

I have fixed it, the issue you have encountered seems to be related to a missing certificate. but if don't have certificate, try this... change composer directory else where but not to desktop and try install again. it's real work to me!!
