I have just installed the latest WP and PHP and am on the Dashboard. Default theme. Most options work however trying to Add a plugin, or trying to do a Post I see the above messages respectively. They appear 7 times one under the other.

I have reinstalled, checked permissions, disabled antivirus, (firewall not running)

Haven’t seen this error previously in prior versions of WP and PHP, all other installs have been fine. I don’t think it has anything to do with SSL.

Would appreciate any thoughts.
