Amazon S3 Upload error SSL certificate issues - amazon-s3

Question

I'm trying to test Laravel Amazon S3 on my localhost but keep getting the same error:
S3Exception in WrappedHttpHandler.php line 192: Error executing
"ListObjects" on
"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/app?prefix=appimages%2FIMG-1469840859-j.jpg%2F&max-keys=1&encoding-type=url";
AWS HTTP error: cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get
local issuer certificate (see
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)
My code:
$s3 = \Storage::disk('s3');
$filePath = '/images/' . $filename;
$s3->put($filePath, file_get_contents($image), 'public');

Answer 1

You have do a tweak to the php.ini file. Download this file http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and set the path in php.ini like this and then restart the server.

; php.ini Options ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"
Above path is common for XAAMP
And that will fix your issue.

Answer 2

$s3 = new S3Client
([
'version' => 'latest',
'scheme' =>'http',
'region' => $this->config->item('s3_region'),
'credentials' => [
'key' => $this->config->item('s3_access_key'),
'secret' => $this->config->item('s3_secret_key')
],
]);
Add 'scheme' =>'http' for development.

Answer 3

I had the same problem.
Error reason is you are working on local or on a not verified server.
Just you need to add the following line to "filesystem.php"
'scheme' => 'http' // to disable SSL verification on local development
Your filesystem.php should look like this :
's3' => [
'driver' => 's3',
'key' => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
'region' => env('AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'),
'bucket' => env('AWS_BUCKET'),
'url' => env('AWS_URL'),
'scheme' => 'http' // to disable SSL verification on local development
],
When you run it on your server which has SSL verification, you need to comment 'scheme' line.
Try it and you will see it works.
Enjoy your coding !
