Thanks for your reply @psrz !
Yeah, It gets rather complicated and I tried to find a balance between being detailed and create a readable post. Maybe I could have been more specific. Also I'm mainly doing this to learn so much of what I know now I din't know when I started the thread.
I'm using MAMP to run a local server on my Mac. I think it's basically Xamp but for Mac. If you want it creates unsigned certifcats for your local projects so you can use SSL while developing. I could have turned SSL off in MAMP and just use http but I really wanted to get Laravel Websockets working locally with SSL hoping to catch issues before my project goes to production. And boy did I ;-)
Yes, the Websockets dashboard worked in a browser without errors. The issue popped up when trying to broadcast an event. So in the basic chat app - I was building following a tutorial - the error occurred when sending a message.
Aparently the solutions suggested on a large thread on StackOverflow and in this thread https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/curl-error-60-ssl-certificate-problem-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate didn't work for me. Turning off verification in the Client.php file in the guzzlehttp package did work (also mentioned in SO and Laracasts threads). But since that requires changing a vendor file I didn't want to do that.
I figured out you can set 'verification' for the guzzlehttp Client options off in the broadcasting.php Config file. This is how I made the chat app work fully on a clean and recent Laravel install.
However, when trying to apply what I learned on a personal project I have been working on for the last couple of years the fix did not work. I ended up with the same cURL error 60 while the code was identical to the code on my test Laravel install.
My project was running on Laravel 8 and the test project Laravel 9 so I updated the Laravel version. This seemed to have fixed it. I think the option to set the 'verify' guzzlehttp option in the broadcasting.php Config file was added from Laravel 9.
At this moment it seems to me this is mainly a Mac/Mamp related issue.
Anyhow, I will post the code that worked for me below. Maybe it can be a help to someone running into the same issue.
