The same error occurred to me  I fixed it by turning off TLS for Composer  it s not safe but I assumed the risk on my develop machine   try this   composer config -g -- disable-tls true   and re-run your Composer  It works to me   But it s unsecure and not recommended for your Server  The official website says      If set to true all HTTPS URLs will be tried with HTTP instead and no network-level encryption is performed  Enabling this is a security risk and is NOT recommended  The better way is to enable the php openssl extension in php ini    If you don t want to enable unsecure layer in your machine server  then setup your php to enable openssl and it also works  Make sure the PHP Openssl extension has been installed and enable it on php ini file     To enable OpenSSL  add or find and uncomment this line on your php ini file   Linux OSx   extension php openssl so   Windows   extension php openssl dll   And reload your php-fpm   web-server if needed

To enable openssl go into php ini and enable this line   extension php openssl dll   if you don t want enable openssl you can set to composer not use openssl with this command   composer config -g -- disable-tls true   however  this is a security problem

For me on Windows 10 none of those worked     I had changed my local server from WAMP to Laragon and had to add the new path to the php ini in the Environment Variables under   Control Panel --  Advanced System Settings --  Environment Variables --  Path  double click  --  Browse     then navigate to the php ini and click ok   After that a reboot was needed and now composer works like a charm

according to the composer reference there are two relevant options  disable-tls and secure-http  nano    composer config json  If the file does not exist or is empty  then just create it with the following content         quot config quot              quot disable-tls quot   true           quot secure-http quot   false          then it complains much  You are running Composer with SSL TLS protection disabled  Warning  Accessing getcomposer org over http which is an insecure protocol   but it performs the composer selfupdate  or whatever   while one cannot simply  quot enable SSL in the php ini quot  on Linux  PHP needs to be compiled with openSSL configured as shared library - in order to be able to access it from the PHP CLI SAPI

After trying everything  I finally managed to get this sorted  None of the above suggested solutions worked for me  My system is A PC Windows 10  In order to get this sorted I had to change the config json file located here C  Users  Your User  AppData Roaming Composer   In there  you will find         quot config quot              quot disable-tls quot   true        quot repositories quot              quot packagist quot                  quot type quot    quot composer quot                quot url quot    quot http   repo packagist org quot     this needs to change to  https                     where you need to update the packagist repo url to point to the  https  url version  I am aware that the above selected solution will work for 95  of the cases  but as I said  that did not work for me  Hope this helps someone  Happy coding

You are running Composer with SSL TLS protection disabled   composer config --global disable-tls true  composer config --global disable-tls false

I had the same problem  I tried everything listed on this page  When I re-installed Composer it worked like before  I had a PHP version mismatch that was corrected with a  new install establishing the dependencies with the PHP path installed in my system environment variables    I DO NOT RECOMMEND the composer config -g -- disable-tls true approach   By the way the way to reverse this is composer config -g -- disable-tls false

I just add this because it worked for me  i install composer with the developer option activate  just check the box in the installer  https   getcomposer org Composer-Setup exe I think this problem may occurs when you add a new version of php to your wamp server  If you do this  you have to check if the extension dir variable is configure to  quot env quot   Then check if the php openssl dll exist in your phpx x ext folder  If there is not php openssl dll  you have to download it here   http   www telecharger-dll fr dll-php openssl dll html If it still not working  check if your apache server use the good php ini file by running the following cmd command   php --ini  Configuration File  php ini  Path  C  Windows Loaded Configuration File          C  wamp64 bin php php7 4 7x64 php ini Scan for additional  ini files in   none  Additional  ini files parsed        none   If the loaded configuration file return  none   you have to check your appache apache2 4 41 conf httpd conf file is configure with the proper phpIniDir and the correct module  It must be something like this   PHPIniDir  quot   APACHE DIR  bin quot  LoadModule php7 module  quot   INSTALL DIR  bin php php7 4 7x64 php7apache2 4 dll quot   Then restart apache and check the  quot apache apache2 4 41 bin php ini quot   wich is the one configure above by PHPIniDir  it must me like

I had the exact same problem and couldn t find a solution  so after thinking and looking for a while I figured that my PHP INI apparently didn t look in the correct directory for my PHP Extensions  so I went under    Directory in which the loadable extensions  modules  reside   And found the following     http   php net extension-dir   extension dir          On windows   extension dir    ext    And simply removed the   infront of  extension dir    ext   note this is only for Windows  remove the semicolon in front of the first extension dir if you are running a different operating system   I have no idea why mine wasn t already unmarked  but it s just something to look for if you are having problems
