Kunguru Experience - Last to Finish Line

General
1

Today, I hit a brick wall trying to upgrade from laravel 5.5 to 5.6. You see, 5.6 requires PHP version >= 7.1.3. I found version 7.2 which needs OpenSSL 1.1.. To cut this short boring tale shorter. I got stuck for two hours trying to match the correct DLLs to get a working bundle of PHP 7.2./OpenSSL 1.1./Apache 2.4./Postgres 9.*.

This is frustrating and weird because you think this should be simple, right? I have to spend the next few minutes coming up with an excuse why it’s late.

I know what you’re thinking. What does this have to do with kunguru? Nothing. It’s click bait, OOOH YEAH!

There’s my Laravel stack. NOTE: Laravel 5.5 is LTS so if you are in production, you’re better off sticking with it.

Got it working. The server was using apache compiled with OpenSSL v1.0.*. Once Apache with correct openssl was installed everything fell into place.
