note 58581 added to ref.openssl

FreeBSD Ports tree php5-openssl uses openssl-0.9.8a. This is a problem, as if you install these two ports and attempt to open an HTTPS URL within PHP, it will fail with this error from openssl_error_string(): error:140A90A1:SSL routines:func(169):reason(161) which is SSL_R_LIBRARY_HAS_NO_CIPHERS or "library has no ciphers" This is because the openssl library now requires you to load your ciphers manually -- all ciphers are not automatically loaded for you. I don't believe the php5-openssl module has been updated to do this before opening an SSL connection (as of 5.0.5). Using openssl-0.9.7i seems to work; symlinking libcrypto.so.3 to libcrypto.so.4 prevents the php5-openssl port from trying to install openssl-0.9.8a. So install openssl-stable (0.9.7i) from ports first, symlink 2nd, then install php5-openssl 3rd, and you should be OK. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.openssl.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58581 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58581&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58581&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58581&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58581&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58581&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58581&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58581&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58581&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
