    This problem is caused by openssl and extension directories, so please uncomment the following extensions in the php.ini

    file

    extension=php_openssl.dll

    extension_dir = "ext"

    It works on my machine.

    I also encountered the same error. I fixed the issue by turning off TLS for Composer, which wasn't secure, but I took the risk on my development machine.

    Try this:

    composer config -g -- disable-tls true

    And re-run your Composer. This works for me!

    But it is not secure and is not recommended for use with your server . The official website says:

    If you don't want to enable the insecure layer in your computer/server, then set up your php to enable openssl and it will work too . Make sure you have the PHP Openssl extension installed and enabled in the php.ini file.


    To enable OpenSSL, add or find and uncomment this line in the php.ini file:

    Linux/OSx:

    extension=php_openssl.so

    Windows:

    extension=php_openssl.dll

    Reload your php-fpm/web server if necessary!

    renew:

    Starting with PHP 7.4, the extension is extension=openssl (known in Windows).
