What to do if you are unable to get local issuer certificate Laravel WAMP?

Have you come across the following error while attempting to use a Laravel API package that uses cURL?

Curl Error : SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

If the answer is yes, our Support Engineers have your back. This easy solution will work as long as you are running PHP version 7.1.9.

1. First, we have to download and save the file at this link in the C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.9 folder or the appropriate WAMP path.
2. Next, we will edit the php.ini file. You can find the file either at C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.27\bin or C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.9 folder.

   In other words, we can also open the file by clicking the WAMP icon in the server tray, then click on PHP and select php.ini.
3. Then, we have to find the following line in the file:

   ;curl.cainfo

   After finding the line, we will replace it with:

   curl.cainfo = "C:\wamp614\bin\php\php7.1.9\cacert.pem"

   Our Support Techs would like to remind you to remove the ; at the beginning of the line as well as the WAMP path.
4. Finally, we have to restart by exiting and starting the WAMP server.

Following the above steps makes us avoid the “unable to get local issuer certificate Laravel WAMP” error. According to our skilled Support Team, we no longer have to deal with not being able to get the local issuer certificate.
