cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

lucagrandicelli

Enviroment
Laragon Full v. 4.0.14
SSL certificate enabled and correctly working.
Fresh installation of wordpress.

Behaviour
When performing the "Site Health" process, Wordpress returns the following error:
cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

On php.ini everything seems fine:

; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo = "C:\laragon\etc\ssl\cacert.pem"

Never happened before on a localhost enviroment. Any idea?!

@lucagrandicelli : Can you update the cacert.pem? Here how:

Download it:
https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
Replace C:\laragon\etc\ssl\cacert.pem with it
Restart Apache/Nginx

Already did that and the problem persists.
Also tried to move the pem certificate inside the apache/ssl folder and use the openssl.cafile directive, but with no luck.
Maybe something related to the CURL options and loopback (since we're ona local enviroment)?

Having the same issue after trying countless solutions. I tired to put the cacert.prem directly in the php folder as well:

C:\laragon\bin\php\php-7.3.5-Win32-VC15-x64\extras\ssl

Then updated in php.ini:

curl.cainfo ="‪C:\laragon\bin\php\php-7.3.5-Win32-VC15-x64\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"
openssl.cafile ="‪C:\laragon\bin\php\php-7.3.5-Win32-VC15-x64\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"

Restarted and still same error. I did a curl command in CMD and it worked with no issue.

I had the same problem until i realized that I had two php.ini files, one global under C:/php and other in Laragon.
Be sure to edit the one in ‪C:\laragon\bin\php\
