      Hi John

      Sounds like a server configuration issue?

      Somebody else had this issue (but didn't solve it unfortunately) but at least it might give you some insight at to what you have to ask your service provider https://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=83826&page=1

          Your PHP has to be compiled with ssl - your phpinfo should have something like these...

            If you're working on Windows, you should be able to do this in your php.ini file
            extension=php_openssl.dll

                If you are working on Windows, just add the line where the other extensions are. It may or may not be there but commented out.
