Installing laravel 5.1 via composer SSL3 certificate error

Question

I'm using ubuntu 15.04 just installed, first I try to install composer, with "curl -sSk composer-link | php". I add -k because of getting ssl error.

Next: I try to install laravel with "composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist" command and s... happens.

composer get error -> SSL3 which is in below :

[Composer\Downloader\TransportException]
The "packagist/packages.json/link" file could not be downloaded: SSL
operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify
failed
Failed to enable crypto
failed to open stream: operation failed

Notes: I try to install cercitifate which is cacert.pem , change opensll location in php.ini but still not works. Thanks for advice.

Answer 1

Probably your problem caused in same the link below (possible duplicate post) link

Go and check php.ini be sure ;openssl.cafile=... not comment line.

1-) locate cacert.pem 2-) change ;openssl.cafile= to openssl.cafile=/path/from/first/step/cacert.pem
