 Hello, I've just installed Mahara and Moodle on my PC (using xamp) for testing purposes.

 I would like to integrate them, but are getting the message,

Sorry, you cannot configure Mahara networking because your PHP installation is missing one or more required extensions:

• openssl
• xmlrpc

How do I install these? Apologies if this has been answered before.

I now have this message in Mahara,

The environment where Mahara is running is misconfigured and this is causing problems. You probably need to contact a server administrator to get this fixed. Details, if any, follow:

Could not generate a new SSL key. Are you sure that both openssl and the PHP module for openssl are installed on this machine?

Any ideas? When I look in Moodle the SSL key doesnt appear to be generated?

Dan Marsden found that problem before when he was writing a bugfix for openssl key generation on Windows. It appears that you can have the openssl PHP extension installed without openssl itself - which of course won't allow you to generate SSL keys.

As to how to fix the problem - sadly I'm not sure, not being a windows user . I presume you have to somehow install openssl, and let your XAMPP know about it.

there's a nice post here that explains how to manually fix part of this here:
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=110343#p602422
(although I've heard of mixed success using this method)

eventually (when I get some time to push the patch through) you will be able to add the path to the openssl.cnf in your config.php

hope that helps!
