1.7.7 OpenSSl broken for PHP

[JohnStevenson]

Are you aware that you cannot use many of PHP's openssl functions without crashing Apache (1.7.7 for Windows, PHP 5.3.8 ). The problem is that the version of the open ssl libraries that Apache is compiled with is not the same as the ones that PHP uses. More info here:

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55470.

I had just upgraded from 1.7.1 and spent far too long finding this out. Oh well, back to the good old days of a separate Apache, PHP and Mysql (which is actually much easier to set-up than it used to be).

Cheers

John

Thank you for the info!

Before finding this thread I spent a good few hours trying to figure out why my email script was giving me an SSL error.

I'm back to 1.7.3 and everything works as expected now. I hope they fix this issue in the next version.

Hi there!

Has this bug been fixed yet or did you find a solution for this problem yet? I am experiencing problems with the following PHP function for authenticating with the new Google OAuth 2.0 system.

Code: Select all

openssl_sign($data, $signature, $this->privateKey, "sha256");

Best Regards,

I found a solution for the problem, it seems there are 2 wrong files in /apache/bin/ in the default 1.7.7 installation that need to be replaced by the files existing in /php/ (libeay32.ddl and ssleay32.dll)
