Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Hi,

According to the code, it's failing here in the web-token/jwt-core lib, which is an external library web-push relies on:

$jwk = self::createECKeyUsingOpenSSL($curve);

And according to the createECKeyUsingOpenSSL() function documentation, it will throw an exception if the SSL extension is not installed or the key cannot be created.

Apparently, this is something related to your local settings as per https://github.com/web-push-libs/web-push-php/issues/292

Thanks I dont think my local settings are bad. I have many websites with the same settings, and installed over the years over 60 plugin without ever having a fatal error in activaing a new plugin. Now i have only a few to improve site speed. It is obviously a bug in your plugin... I do have openssl plugin, so the error doesnt really help.

Thanks but do you mean openssl extension? as I do have it installed. here is the list of my extensions can you please tell me what I miss? (I do have many plugins installed and it is the first time a plugin is crashing on installation) extension=php_imagick.dll extension=curl extension=fileinfo extension=gd extension=gmp extension=mbstring extension=exif ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it extension=mysqli extension=openssl extension=soap zend_extension=opcache

Forgot to mention I am running it on Php 8.0 Latest wordpress version. And one more time this is the first time a plugin fails on installation. I had installed over 60 plugins in the past... so it wasn't tested properly in different enviroments. Anyone else tested it on php 8? thanks

Hello, it's very hard to troubleshoot from the outside, as it looks like a problem in one of the dependencies we use. I would suggest to report and follow the issue in this thread: https://github.com/web-push-libs/web-push-php/issues/292

We need help from the community to troubleshoot this on Windows with IIS, as this is the problematic environment for the encryption library.
