Undefined function openssl_encrypt() in Encrypter.php

Question

I get the following error:

Call to undefined function openssl_encrypt() in Encrypter.php line 73

It may seem obvious, but OpenSSL extension is enabled in my config, this error occurs only when using artisan serve, looked through config and it is enabled.

Did some research: Copied the following code in the artisan file

$loaded = extension_loaded('openssl');
var_dump($loaded);die();

And it returned true. But when I copy the same code into /public/index.php it returns false.

So I assumed that the openssl extension is enabled in php-cli, but for some reason it gets disabled after reaching the bootstrap file.

*And I am using UniServer if someone is interested.

Where did you execute the `die(var_dump($loaded));' command? — Hilmi Erdem KEREN, Sep 21 '16 at 13:50
So I guess you used command line interface to execute the artisan command. I suspect that you have a different configuration for cli and cgi. Can you execute phpinfo() from your browser (first line after — Hilmi Erdem KEREN, Sep 21 '16 at 13:57
Yes, I used artisan serve, and when opened in the browser, got the error. CLI is loading php-cli.ini file, in which the extension is enabled too — gegham-ayvazyan, Sep 21 '16 at 13:59
My point is that if the openssl is truly not enabled, why do I get true on checking `extension_loaded` in the start of the app? — gegham-ayvazyan, Sep 21 '16 at 14:00
I highly recommend you to use phpinfo() and find openssl there and see if it is really "enabled" — Hilmi Erdem KEREN, Sep 21 '16 at 14:02
It seems that the php-cli.ini is not loaded in phpinfo(), but what can cause this ? — gegham-ayvazyan, Sep 21 '16 at 14:16
It's pretty normal to have different php.ini files for different sapis. — Daniel W., Sep 21 '16 at 14:17
I think There should be two different php.ini files in your server configuration — Hilmi Erdem KEREN, Sep 21 '16 at 14:18
There are indeed. But the problem is that when I execute any php file using cli, the openssl is loaded (and the php-cli.ini too), but when executing artisan serve, the config file is not loaded, so does the extension. — gegham-ayvazyan, Sep 21 '16 at 14:20
CLI stands for Command Line Interface. When executing things from the `php` command-line, php-cli.ini will be loaded. When you run `php artisan serve`, the serve itself is being executed from cli, hence open-ssl enabled, but when accessing your project from a browser with the address provided by the `php artisan serve`, the `php.ini` (non-cli) will be loaded. — Marco Aurélio Deleu, Sep 21 '16 at 14:25
OK, then how can I enable it? because no php.ini files are loaded in the end. — gegham-ayvazyan, Sep 21 '16 at 14:31
@gagvirus as I wrote 31 minutes ago, can you please find the php.ini file used by the apache server and enable open ssl there? — Hilmi Erdem KEREN, Sep 21 '16 at 14:41
As I found out php was not loading the php-cli.ini file, instead it was looking for one in C:\Windows folder. So I copied the contents of php-cli.ini to C:\Windows\php.ini. — gegham-ayvazyan, Sep 21 '16 at 15:48

Had same issue on Apache 2.4, PHP7, Fresh Laravel 5.3 on a Windows. My Apache error log showed

"PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\wamp\\php\\ext\\php_openssl.dll' - The operating system cannot run %1.\r\n in Unknown on line 0"

Fixed it by copying libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll from PHP-root folder to Apache/bin folder and restarted Apache.
