How to configure openssl to work with file_get_contents

We run an apache2 server and want to use google recaptcha due to high volume of bots on our newsletter.

Therefore I implemented some lines of developers php-code which in general should work ... but not on my server. I investigated further and found that the function file_get_contents() ends with an SSL error.

file_get_contents(self::SITE_VERIFY_URL, false, $context)

Below you can find an extract from the servers log file.

PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:\nerror:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed in /var/www/html/app/lib/vendor/google/recaptcha/src/ReCaptcha/RequestMethod/Post.php on line 68
PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto in /var/www/html/app/lib/vendor/google/recaptcha/src/ReCaptcha/RequestMethod/Post.php on line 68
PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify): failed to open stream: operation failed in /var/www/html/app/lib/vendor/google/recaptcha/src/ReCaptcha/RequestMethod/Post.php on line 68

This brought me to the conclusion that Openssl is misconfigured. So I:

Any ideas how to solve this would be great.

So I found the problem: First I changed the filepath according to the comment by drew010. Then I fixed issues on my server with file permissions of /etc/ssl/certs according to this post: https://askubuntu.com/a/636979

Now file_get_contents does not invoke any errors and recaptcha runs smoothly.
