Windows – Php 7.1 / Apache 2.4 / Windows – Openssl load error

apache-2.4opensslphp7windows

I want to upgrade my local server to php 7.1. When I try to do this everythings go fine except openssl.

With php <= 5.30 openssl works perfect but if I switch to php 7.1 openssl is disabled.

I think every settings is ok (http.conf, php.ini) because the same settings works with other php versions.

With php 7.1 I obtain msg like this: Unable to find the wrapper "https" – did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP

I tried to copy libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll, openssl.exe in both windows folder and apache/bin folder I tried to add php dir to windows path I tried every possible way i have read on various pages, but nothing change.

Can someone help me?

I ran into the same issue and managed to fix it. I found that the DLL relies on the files libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll and figured that PHP7.1 being VC14 compiled it might be an incompatibility issue. Looking through my PATH I found that the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\ was the first directory to provide the file with an outdated version (1.0.0.17) as shown below (left is Intel's, right is the one bundled with PHP);

While I figured it might break the iCLS Client by causing the incompatibility error there, I took the risk and moved those directories below the PHP directory which (after restarting Apache) solved the issue.

Apache PHP-FPM – Configure Apache 2.4 with PHP-FPM and ProxyPassMatch

After hours of searching and reading Apache documentation I've come up with a solution that allows to use the pool, and also allow the Rewrite directive in .htaccess to work even when the url contains .php files.

<VirtualHost ...>

 ...

 # This is to forward all PHP to php-fpm.
 <FilesMatch \.php$>
   SetHandler "proxy:unix:/path/to/socket.sock|fcgi://unique-domain-name-string/"
 </FilesMatch>

 # Set some proxy properties (the string "unique-domain-name-string" should match
 # the one set in the FilesMatch directive.
 <Proxy fcgi://unique-domain-name-string>
   ProxySet connectiontimeout=5 timeout=240
 </Proxy>

 # If the php file doesn't exist, disable the proxy handler.
 # This will allow .htaccess rewrite rules to work and 
 # the client will see the default 404 page of Apache
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.php$
 RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
 RewriteRule (.*) - [H=text/html]

</VirtualHost>

As per Apache documentation, the SetHandler proxy parameter requires Apache HTTP Server 2.4.10.

I hope that this solution will help you too.

Windows – Finding and patching OpenSSL Apache on Windows

Go to the site you originally downloaded whatever it is you have. See if they have provided an update. If not, then bug them to provide an updated 'complete solution'.

Since you referred to this as a 'complete solution', I am guessing you didn't compile this on your own, so there really isn't much you can do on your own unless you stop using something that was built for you, and rebuild everything from source.
