MainWP Dashboard on Local WP can’t connect to a remote child site. When connecting a site to my localhost MainWP (powered through WP Local), I get a 500 error for /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. Debug gives an error: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: openssl_pkey_get_details(): Argument #1 ($key) mus…

Hi @s.doig - I agree with you re: using MainWP, but this isn’t an error I’ve ever heard mentioned by other users. The path Nick mentioned above is just the path to wherever Local is installed on your machine. I can’t tell you where that is, unfortunately. I am also using a 64-bit version of Windows…

Hi @s.doig I don’t have a Windows set up to be able to look, but I might have a workaround. Can you try the following? Go to the WP > Settings > MainWP Child > Settings page. From there, Deselect the Require Unique Security ID option and Click the Save Changes button.

Hi Nick, The security ID is unrelated to open.ssl (it is a text string), and turning it off would leave MainWP child sites vulnerable. Thanks, Steve

Hi Nick-B, RE: the first link, Local reports the link to openssl.cnf is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL/openssl.cnf but the SSL folder does not exist in the Common Files folder, so Local is mistaken. RE: the second link, this doesn’t contain any solutions. Regards, Steve

Hi @s.doig The link that first one shows that it should be found here: /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf But I see some additional notes from @DigiRik that might help here: [image] Trying To Use MainWP On Local But Keep Getting An Error When Trying To Connect Sites WordPress Questions …

[image] Nick-B: The link that first one shows that it should be found here: /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf That is not a Windows path… It is Unix/Mac. That does not mention a Windows path either. It is Unix/Mac.

@s.doig Sorry for my mistake there. The openssl.cnf file for Localwp should be found in the following location on Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Local\run\router\openssl.cnf Note that <username> should be replaced with your Windows user account name. If you still can’t find that di…

No worries. That directory does not contain the openssl.cnf file, only a nginx folder.

Were you able to locate it using the Windows search function?

There is only 1 openssl.cnf file related to Local in the following folder: C:\Users\Username\Local Sites\site-local\app\public\wp-content\plugins\updraftplus\vendor\phpseclib\phpseclib\phpseclib which is irrelevant. There are also some other openssl.cnf files in: Downloads folder OneDrive folde…
