Answer 1

You need to enable the open_ssl extension on your PHP.ini

Open your PHP.ini , search for this line

;extension=php_openssl.dll

Remove the ; before the line , save the file and restart your webserver and you are good to go.

How to find the right php.ini ?

Create a simple test file like test.php, add <?php phpinfo(); and execute it. Search for Loaded Configuration File line and see the path next to that line.
