Your answer is in the error

>> Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

Check your PHP settings by opening www.yourwebsite.co.uk/simpleinvoices/phpinfo.php

Near the bottom of the first block is a heading "Registered Stream Socket Transports". Ensure that SSL is included.

If not you will need to add the OpenSSL extension to your PHP installation

I am using the simple invoices for windows, where it is all in a folder on my desktop, I have enabled the phpinfo.php and ssl is not listed, how do i then add the openssl to the php, should I just add the dll to the php/ext directory or does it need alot more done to get it working, also could I use another means through google.

Haven't really had time to play about with php before, hopfully will pick something up in the next couple of weeks while setting this software up for what I want it to do

Thanks

Could you please open a ticket here that SSL is not enabled in the windows version:

http://code.google.com/p/simpleinvoices/issues/list

I will then dispatch it to the person who is responsible for the windows version.

The issue has been fixed for the next version, you can temporarily download the release candidate here:

anybody be able to help?

Thanks

I am having the exact same problems described above - the initial problem and the same problem with the RC giving the SSLEAY32.dll missing error.

This looks like a great program that should meet my needs, but it's of no use to me if I can't get the email link to work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I eventually went with a softalicious install through my webspace/control panel, it works brilliantly now, gave up with the stand alone version.

Yeah, I am leaning that way myself... I have no real need to have this online, so was hoping to use the standalone version, but if I can't get it to work, I may have no other choice.

I use IIS7.5, with MySQL and PHP that I set up myself.
I just use the main SI trunk

The windows installer version is interesting, but I experienced issues because I already had MySQL installed.

Hey guys, sorry i didnt get back to you. Ive fixed the .dll issue and maybe the existing SQL issue among other things and uploaded a new RC if you want to give it a try, i really appreciate the feed back.

Matt, it would be especially helpful if you could test this version in your environment and report your experiences.

Just for anyone else having this issue; I had the exact same problem with the standalone windows version, but this fix worked for me on windows 7 Enterprise.

I downloaded the RC above (simpleinvoices_for_windows.2011.1.(1.7.0.114-RC).zip), extracted it to my desired location, made a copy of the "\Simple Invoices For Windows\mysql\data" folder for backup (e.x. "\Simple Invoices For Windows\mysql\dataBKP"), copied my old "\Simple Invoices For Windows\mysql\data" folder to the new RC's folder and lastly added my user information to my "\Simple Invoices For Windows\config\config.ini" file.

Now I am happily emailing invoices! Thanks John!
