I can not thank you enough... had the same problem with wamp....chanderjeet wrote:I am using Joomla 2.5.6 with XAMPP and this is how I fixed it :
- Open C:\xampp\php (or wherever your xampp is installed)
- Open php.ini in notepad and search for [PECL]
- This will take you to a section with lot of extensions listed.
- Add the following line just above the [PECL]
extension=php_openssl.dll
- Save the file
- Restart the apache service and you should be good
1. so retarded that a wamp's default configuration is so poor (lot of things disabled which are needed for normal php use, like for instance php_fileinfo - no zip decompression if this is not enabled)
2. Joomla's error messages really suck..... That I know for a long time, and am dissapointed every time
Nevertheless, thank you chanderjeet
