ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED, nginx can't find .crt file

[heggern]

Hi.

I've been fighting valet (or maybe nginx) the whole day. I upgraded Valet from 2.0 something to Valet 2.3.3, and from PHP 7.1 to 7.3.8, and suddenly every application stoped working. Got the ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in Chrome.

When running nginx -t dumps this error:

nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/Users/heggern/.config/valet/Certificates/testapp.test.crt": BIO_new_file() failed (SSL: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:fopen('/Users/heggern/.config/valet/Certificates/testapp.test.crt','r') error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file)
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Inside /.config/valet/Certificates there is no .crt file, just three other files: .conf, .csr and .key

I have tried to uninstall everything, and re-install, but no luck. No .crt file anywhere.

I also looked into an old valet folder (renamed my old valet folder to valet-backup before removing everything), but there wasn't any .crt file.

Anyone with any information who to get the .crt file to be created with the valet secure command?

Sounds oddly familiar to #654 for which v2.2.2 was released.

Maybe there's a permissions mask issue on your ~/.config directory, preventing the files from being generated?

Also, since you didn't mention it, and it solves a myriad of problems, I'll ask: have you rebooted since upgrading all those components?

Thanks for the reply @drbyte.

I have restarted after upgrading and re-installing. Several times, but no luck.

I also tested the change in Site.php on line 307, but still nothing.

Everything running as root: brew services list

Update

Dumped the $result from Site.php line 307.

WARNING: can't open config file: /usr/local/php5/ssl/openssl.cnf
Signature ok
subject=/CN=testapp.test/emailAddress=testapp.test@laravel.valet
Error opening CA Certificate /Users/heggern/.config/valet/CA/LaravelValetCASelfSigned.pem

So, I guess an old php5 is still bugging my system, and that the .config/valet/CAfolder is empty.

[heggern]

Yes! Found the solution.

Copied the file System/Library/OpelSSL/openssl.conf to usr/local/php5/ssl/openssl.conf.

Then brew reinstall openssl and the valet secureworks! Finally. After 13 hours without my localhost setup.
