Answer 1

In my case this error also happened when using Laravel's development server.

In order to fix it, just shifted stopped that server and ran Apache through XAMPP and that was enough to solve the problem.

If you're having troubles with this approach, please read the answers to this question for more details.

Answer 2

You need to put .pem file inside of C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.9\extras\ssl instead of C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.9

Make sure the file mod_ssl.so is inside of C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache(version)\modules

Enable mod_ssl in httpd.conf inside of Apache directory C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.27\conf

Enable php_openssl.dll in php.ini.

In wamp there are two php.ini files and You need to do this in both of them.

First one can be located inside of your WAMP taskbar icon

and the other one is located in C:\wamp64\bin\php\php(Version)

find the location for both of the php.ini files and find the line curl.cainfo = and give it a path like this

curl.cainfo = "C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.9\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"

Now save the files and restart your server
