 * Hi [@maxpaine69](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxpaine69/),
 * If you check the MainWP > Status page on your dashboard, do you see the error:
   02001003:system library:fopen:No such process SSL Warning?
 * If yes, this means that the OpenSSL is not configured properly.
 * To fix this, please try the following:
    1. Go to your MainWP Dashboard
    2. Go to the MainWP > Settings > MainWP Tools page and click the Quick Setup Wizard
       button
    3. When the setup starts, proceed to the first step and select Localhost > Windows
    4. The new option will appear where you can add the openssl.cnf file path ([see here how to find the file](https://mainwp.com/help/docs/how-to-find-the-openssl-cnf-file/))
    5. Proceed to the next step and feel free to skip the rest of the Quick Setup wizard.
 * Once you get back to the MainWP Dashboard > Status page, check if the SSL Warning
   is gone.
 * If that doesn’t help, please open a [helpdesk ticket](https://mainwp.com/support/).
