I installed openEMR on Windows 10. I get the following error when trying to access openEMR. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

OpenEMR Error : OpenEMR is not working since the php openssl module is not installed.

Try enabling php_openssl in php.ini.

  • Go to that location and edit the file named: php.ini.
  • Uncomment the line extension=php_openssl.dll by removing the semicolon at the beginning.
  • Restart the Apache server.

Hope this may solve the issue.

1.Remove semicolon( ; ) in front of extension=openssl

2.Restart the Apache server.

Hope this may solve the issue

Thanks for the suggestion; I did try removing that but it doesn’t seem to help. I still get the same error.

Is Tomcat needed for openSSL? On my XAMPP module I see an error starting Tomcat - port 8080 not available. Would that be the issue?
