Apache Friends Support Forum

I am using xampp lite portable on windows 8 and it throwing a 'error:SSL connection timeout' error (output of curl_error($ch); ) The exact same code works with wampserver. Its only with xampp that I get the error

I have tried the following :
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
uncommented extension=php_curl.dll
uncommented extension=php_openssl.dll
disabled firewall.

not sure what else to try. Help please

Thanks

In apache error log I have the following message:

Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]

Ok problem doesn't exist in non-portable version, so I guess its some sort of bug in the portable version. Can someone confirm ?
