install in localhost

Hello everyone,
I have a French and English version 2.1.0 running online.
I'd like to develop an additional module, so I installed WampServer on my Windows 10 PC and PHP 8.2.30.
I transferred my files and created the database. On localhost, the front end works perfectly.
However, when accessing the administration panel, I get the login page and then a curl error... curl is enabled in php.ini.
How can I get the administration panel to work on localhost?

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks

Re: install in localhost

Generally, you need to have SSL working to be able to use curl, which means SSL certificates install for localhost including a CA certificate. All this is set in Apache.

Re: install in localhost

Hi
To fix my problem, I used mistral.ai to disable curl calls.

Now it works fine locally.

Re: install in localhost

Thanks for telling, it is quite an original solution.
I have a more classic one which is using minica certificates for localhost, which work fine with Wamp Server. The only thing I have to take care is when installing a new Apache version, WAMP will reset all ports in virtual host to 80. I have to set them back to 443 each time. But like this I can set my own local domain like zc.test with ssl certificates which is closer to live server and allows me to test any functionality that use an API (some shipping and payment modules).
