Fixing Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" on Windows 2003

If you receive the error below, often seen when using the Zend Gdata library follow the instructions below to correct the issue.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Gdata_App_HttpException' with message 'Unable to Connect to ssl://www.google.com:443. Error #24: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?'

  1. run phpinfo(); to find the path to the loaded php.ini config file
  2. open the file and ensure extension=php_openssl.dll is not commented out
  3. restart IIS from command prompt with command iisreset
