openssl & xmlrpc

openssl & xmlrpc

Number of replies: 4

I would like to enable openssl & xmlrpc as I would like to integrate Moodle and Mahara. I will be doing this on my local PC, with the following.

  • Win XP
  • WAMPSERVER 2
  • Apache/2.2.11
  • PHP/5.2.11
  • MySQL/5.1.36
  • Moodle 1.9.6

I’ve seen an openssl.exe in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.11\extras\openssl, but if I try to run it I get an error message, SSLEAY32.dll not found? The file is present though in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.11\

Thanks

John

Also, when I look in Administration, Networking, Settings I have the following messages,

Networking requires OpenSSL extension

openssl and xmlrpc are both PHP extensions - you will need to configure your php.ini file to load them (and then restart apache on your server)

as you're running a windows machine, you will also need to make sure that Apache can find your openssl.cnf file - the easiest way to manage this is to add a line to your config.php file using the information mentioned here:
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_Network_FAQ#Moodle_doesn.27t_generate_any_keys_on_the_networking_pages


hope that gets you on the right track!

Thanks for coming back to me Dan. Ok, I've uncommented

extension=php_openssl.dll & extension=php_xmlrpc.dll in the file, C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.11\php.ini file

I cant find the openssl.cnf file though.

In C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin I do have openssl.exe. If I run this I get a WARNING can't open config file: d:/test/openss1098kvc6/openssl.cnf

you may not need the openssl.cnf file, so remove the line from config.php and check your networking pages to see if your keys have been generated.

if it isn't generating the keys - then you will need to find an openssl.cnf (google should help) and copy it into your installation somewhere.
