It's likely that certificates are not configured for PHP within your environment.

Yes, that solved it. Thanks @ssddanbrown.

Maybe it's too specific, but since webhooks seem to require this to work, you could consider including something pointing to this configuration on the documentation.

@carlossierra311 Good to hear it's now working!

Yeah, this isn't frequent enough, and BookStack specific enough, of a problem to be documented in our docs IMO.
This is more general than webhooks, and the vast majority of systems wouldn't have this issue as this is something that's typically configured by default in system PHP packages. Can always add if this becomes more common.
