I add :

httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:443>
        DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/sesa_final/sesa-e-commerce"
        ServerName www.myurl.com
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile "conf/ssl.crt/server.crt" 
        SSLCertificateKeyFile "conf/ssl.key/server.key"
    <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/sesa_final/sesa-e-commerce">
     Options All
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and I already change the root to the project folder:

httpd-ssl.conf

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

#   General setup for the virtual host
DocumentRoot "D:/xampp2/htdocs/sesa_final/sesa-e-commerce"
ServerName http://127.0.0.1:8000:443
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ErrorLog "D:/xampp2/apache/logs/error.log"
TransferLog "D:/xampp2/apache/logs/access.log"

When I run composer install:

D:\xampp2\htdocs\sesa_final\sesa-e-commerce>composer install

[Composer\Exception\NoSslException]
The openssl extension is required for SSL/TLS protection but is not available. If y
ou can not enable the openssl extension, you can disable this error, at your own ri
sk, by setting the 'disable-tls' option to true.

See I am developing in localhost through php artisan serve. but the one online using https:// (SSL)

I can't even run composer install (to install my vendor folder back)

I'm sorry for Windows it is extension=php_openssl.dll. If you do php -v do you get any php errors in your console?

It finally works. A quick question about git - Do you normally pull before you code at the beginning of the day and puss when the code ready to be uploaded

pull and push right after your code ready to be uploaded ? Is this the same thing ? Will both works ?

Was facing this error

"You must enable the openssl extension in your php.ini to load information from.."

I solved by finding and uncommenting the following lines on php.ini file

;extension=php_openssl.dll

;extension_dir = "ext" in

Wamp/bin/php/php.#.#.###./php.ini

Uncomment both by removing the semicolon (;) from the beginning of each line.

If you have the latest PHP v^8 or above, likely you won't see php.ini file. So what you do is to make a copy of php.ini-development which you will see there and then rename the copy you just made to php.ini and then do the same uncommenting of the two lines then save.

I have this error when making a new project in laravel.

the error :

<< The openssl extension is required for SSL/TLS protection but is not available. If you can not enable the openssl extension, you can disable this error, at your own risk, by setting the 'disable-tls' option to true. >>

After troubleshooting I found that the reason was that I had downloaded a new version of php and added it to the machine environment paths.

I solved it by removing this version from environment paths and making a new path to the version that was associated with laragon.

So I ask "was the error for the type of php that I have downloaded recently 'thread or non thread'? OR was it for something related to laragon and xampp as wamp servers or what ?? "

Depends on how you want to work.

If it's only you on the project you can do a pull in the morning then work for 8 hours and then do a push or you can do a pull in the morning then for every added functionality you do a push when all the tests are passing. Never push code that has a failing test.

This is how I work with git.

If needed pull the code from Github.
Write the first test for the new feature
Make the test pass
Commit the changes to my local git repository.
Repeat steps 2-3 until the added feature is completed.
Push the changes to Github.

There is a good course here https://laracasts.com/series/git-me-some-version-control

If only me in the project why would I even need to pull since no one else add something to the codes?

pull and push codes at the end of the day after I write a new feature to push is fine too right?

Sure, unless you need to push a hotfix instantly. And yes if you are the only developer you probably never need to pull (unless using multiple computers)
