Hello, 

How does your PHP configuration look like? You can output it using the following command: 

php -i | grep -i ssl

Ideally, it should look something like this:

Registered Stream Socket Transports => tcp, udp, unix, udg, ssl, tls, tlsv1.0, tlsv1.1, tlsv1.2, tlsv1.3
SSL => Yes
MULTI_SSL => No
SSL Version => OpenSSL/1.1.1n
SSL Support => enabled
libmongoc SSL => enabled
libmongoc SSL library => OpenSSL
core SSL => supported
extended SSL => supported
openssl
OpenSSL support => enabled
OpenSSL Library Version => OpenSSL 1.1.1n  15 Mar 2022
OpenSSL Header Version => OpenSSL 1.1.1n  15 Mar 2022
Openssl default config => /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf
openssl.cafile => no value => no value
openssl.capath => no value => no value
Native OpenSSL support => enabled

See https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/discussions/33351

This is a Windows problem. For SSL to work there must be an environment variable that points to the openssl.cnf file. Xampp and Wamp have such files, but they don't create correct paths to those files in the environment. Previous versions of Prestashop didn't bother about SSL but now for some reason it requires you to have it correctly set.

Press Windows + R to open the Windows Run prompt. Type in sysdm.cpl and click OK. Open the Advanced tab and click on the Environment Variables button in the System Properties window.
Add variable name: "OPENSSL_CONF" variable value like: "C:\xampp\apache\conf\openssl.cnf" with the path where you installed xampp. Note that after setting an environment variable you need to restart Windows for it to work.

You can try to open Xampp with admin permission. For me it work´s. 🤪

1. Use phpinfo() function to view Default Config OpenSSL.cnf

2.Copy file openssl.cnf from XAMPP to this directory, example: D:\xampp8212\php\extras\ssl\openssl.cnf

3. Restart Apache.

The big question is who should solve it.

It is an Xampp problem. But Xampp is mainly used for experimentation and it has never bothered to fix this.

Prestashop has always got along with this. But now that the organization has been split between an opensource project that is mainly manned by volunteers and a commercial company the situation has changed. It looks like the volunteers are more fanatic in having the "correct" configuration. It is a pity that the company allows this to happen.

I have tried adding environment variables and restarting the computer and this worked
Make sure the openssl.conf file is in the directory
C:/xampp/apache/bin/openssl.cnf and also
C:/xampp/apache/conf/openssl.cnf

I solved it in my posts.

1. Use phpinfo() function to view Default Config OpenSSL.cnf

2.Copy file openssl.cnf from XAMPP to this directory, example: D:\xampp8212\php\extras\ssl\openssl.cnf

3. Restart Apache.

Thanks Works fine on Wampserver too

I use WAMP 3.3.1 -  Today 21/02/2024 I could solve this problem with this solution:

1. Use phpinfo() function to view Default Config OpenSSL.cnf  --> Openssl default config (example: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL/openssl.cnf)

2.Copy file openssl.cnf from WAMPP to this directory, example: C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.54.2\conf

3. Restart Apache.
