Successfully Installed. Yay! But error in while accessing Admin Area

iRobin

I am so happy, after 24 hours of battle i successfully installed Flarum in my Windows Laptop (XAMPP + Flarum). Now i can sleep peacefully.

What i did is, i deleted everything and fresh downloaded and installed Flarum through Composer. Then made all the changes of moving Public directory files to root folder and modifying the .htaccess, httpd.conf (apache folder) and index.php.

Started the installation and everything was breeze. So surprised to see that i landed in the homepage.

Now only area i am getting the following error is while visiting "Admin - Administration" from the top right corner button.

Error:
`

Fatal error: Uncaught GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException: cURL error 77: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: C:\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt CApath: none (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) in C:\xampp\htdocs\flarum\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php:186 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\flarum\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php(149): GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory::createRejection(Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\EasyHandle), Array) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\flarum\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php(102): GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory::finishError(Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlHandler), Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\EasyHandle), Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory)) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\flarum\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlHandler.php(43): GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory::finish(Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlHandler), Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\EasyHandle), Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory)) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\flarum\vendor in C:\xampp\htdocs\flarum\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php on line 186`

Kindly help how can i fix this error and get into admin area for managing the site. I will be able to upload this copy to my hosting once this fixed. Thanks in advance 🙂

iRobin the error might not happen on your hosting because it's related to your local CA certificates file.

It looks like the path in php.ini (C:\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt) cannot be read or maybe does not exist ?

It's probably the same issue as here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50345702/laravel-guzzle-curl-error-77-error-setting-certificate-verify-locations

You might have to update the path to the file or download the CA file again and put the path to that new file. It's strange though because I'd expect XAMPP to have this covered 🤔

clarkwinkelmann Fixed it bro. 🙂 Followed the steps in this video ( after downloading the .pem file and changed the path of those cert to .pem and now i am in the admin area 🙂

Thanks a ton.

Hi, you are correct. i am not able to find that file "curl-ca-bundle.crt" in c:\xampp\apache\bin\". The link you gave me helps me to download that .pem file. But is there any possibility i can download the missing curl-ca-bundle.crt file and place it in that folder?
