Unable to generate private keys using openssl_pkey_new. Check your OpenSSL configuration, especially the path to openssl.cafile.

Good afternoon, so I'm trying to install prestashop for the first time on a local machine with xamp so I can run some tests and learn more about the platform, but I came across this error and I can't move forward, I've seen some posts here on the forum and even so for a person who doesn't know anything about it, I couldn't get away with it. I have also tried to create a certificate manually to see if it is resolved, but without success. If anyone has any tips to help in a simple way.

ok i solve it doing this way, hope this helps someone too.

 

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.
