error setting certificate verify locations - php

OS: Ubuntu 16.01
PHP: 7/0
Based on some googling, and input from questions on StackOverflow, I am setting the following Curl options:
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 2,
CURLOPT_CAINFO = '/etc/ssl/certs',
I verified that /etc/ssl/certs directory exists, and that it is current.
I also modified the file /etc/php/7.0/cli/php/ini:
openssl.capath='/etc/ssl/certs'
When I try to make the Curl call, I get the following error:
[error] => error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs
CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
I edited the permissions in the /etc/ssl/certs to:
rwxr-xr-x
But I am getting the same error.
Any ideas?

CURLOPT_CAINFO should only be set if the certs you want to use are in just one file. If you want use a whole directory (as you would typically want to do on Ubuntu), only set the CURLOPT_CAPATH value.
From the docs:
CURLOPT_CAINFO: The name of a file holding one or more certificates to verify the peer with.
CURLOPT_CAPATH: A directory that holds multiple CA certificates.

cURL error 77: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile

I am using Firebase php SDK link and working with laravel latest version on XAMMP server on windows 10 but when i try to use Firebase APi using above php SDK i get this error.i download .pem certificate manually but still not working
Error
Kreait \ Firebase \ Exception \ ApiException
cURL error 77: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: C:\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt CApath: none (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)
Previous exceptions

In your case, simply do this
Open your php.ini file and update this
;openssl.cafile=
with
openssl.cafile="C:\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt"
For others who might face this error, follow this:
It has to do with your cURL certification. Take these steps:
Head over to http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem. This link gets you (downloads) the latest cacert.pem file.
Use this command on your terminal on the application you are currently working on so that you would know the exact PHP used in cases of multiple installations of PHP on your computer, php -i | grep 'Configuration File'. This shows you the exact location of the php.ini file for the current application you are running. For instance, mine is C:\php-7.4.11\php.ini. Note this location as we will use it soon.
Go into this location C:\php-7.4.11 ie. the folder containing the php.ini file in my case, open "extras", open "ssl" (for clarity sake, mine looks like this C:\php-7.4.11\extras\ssl). In this folder, paste in the newly downloaded cacert.pem file from Step 1 above.
Right-click on the cacert.pem file and unblock it from "Properties" as it could complain of coming from another computer. Still on this Properties section pop-up, copy the new file location link from the "Security" section (mine is C:\php-7.4.11\extras\ssl\cacert.pem ensure to copy yours). You can also copy this from the file browser header.
Go to this location C:\php-7.4.11\php.ini (this is my php.ini location. Go to yours) and update the following 2 fields on your php.ini file.
;curl.cainfo =
;openssl.cafile=
with
curl.cainfo ="C:\php-7.4.11\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"
openssl.cafile="C:\php-7.4.11\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"
Restart your xampp/wamp server. In my case, I also restart every other server running.
NB: You get cURL 60 error if curl.cainfo is not updated. And cURL 77 if openssl.cafile is not updated.
Also, do not forget to uncomment the ; before curl.cainfo and openssl.cafile.
Hope this helps someone.
In my case using MAMP PRO I had this error :
CURL error: error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /Applications/MAMP/Library/OpenSSL/cert.pem
CApath: none
The file /Applications/MAMP/Library/OpenSSL/cert.pem was a symlink to /Applications/MAMP/Library/OpenSSL/certs/cacert.pem
it appeared that the file was here but seems to be corrupted or out of date.
I downloaded the new one from here and replaced it. Then it worked again.

curl server certificate verification failed

I have a bunch of PHP scripts that use curl to communicate with various services. Currently, one of those services' SSL certificate got updated and my curl started crying about it when I try to get it from my server's CLI:
~$ curl https://example.com
curl: (60) server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option.
Currently, I hardcoded verify => false to all of my requests in order to keep my scripts operating but that's not something I would like to have laying around.
I got the latest cacert file from mozilla, put it in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and then ran sudo update-ca-certificates which ran successfully (I suppose..)
~$ sudo update-ca-certificates
Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs...
0 added, 0 removed; done.
Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d...
done.
But then again curl is not too happy about it, still can't get my resource without passing the -k flag.
You can use the openssl s_client command to further debug the issue, in order to find out what exactly seems to be the problem with the certificate.
openssl s_client -showcerts -servername myservice.com -connect myservice.com:443

Facebook SDK returned an error: error setting certificate verify locations [duplicate]

I am getting the following error using curl:
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
CApath: none
How do I set this certificate verify locations?
I also had the newest version of ca-certificates installed but was still getting the error:
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none
The issue was that curl expected the certificate to be at the path /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt but could not find it because it was at the path /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.
Copying my certificate to the expected destination by running
sudo cp /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
worked for me. You will need to create folders for the target destination if they do not exist by running
sudo mkdir -p /etc/pki/tls/certs
If needed, modify the above command to make the destination file name match the path expected by curl, i.e. replace /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt with the path following "CAfile:" in your error message.
This error is related to a missing package: ca-certificates. Install it.
In Ubuntu Linux (and similar distro):
# apt-get install ca-certificates
In CygWin via Apt-Cyg
# apt-cyg install ca-certificates
In Arch Linux (Raspberry Pi)
# pacman -S ca-certificates
The documentation tells:
This package includes PEM files of CA certificates to allow SSL-based applications to check for the authenticity of SSL connections.
As seen at: Debian -- Details of package ca-certificates in squeeze
Put this into your .bashrc
# fix CURL certificates path
export CURL_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
(see comment from Robert)
Create a file ~/.curlrc with the following content
cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
as follows
echo "cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" >> ~/.curlrc
The quickest way to get around the error is add on the -k option somewhere in your curl request. That option "allows connections to SSL cites without certs." (from curl --help)
Be aware that this may mean that you're not talking to the endpoint you think you are, as they are presenting a certificate not signed by a CA you trust.
For example:
$ curl -o /usr/bin/apt-cyg https://raw.github.com/cfg/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg
gave me the following error response:
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none
I added on -k:
curl -o /usr/bin/apt-cyg https://raw.github.com/cfg/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg -k
and no error message. As a bonus, now I have apt-cyg installed. And ca-certificates.
From $ man curl:
--cert-type <type>
(SSL) Tells curl what certificate type the provided certificate
is in. PEM, DER and ENG are recognized types. If not specified,
PEM is assumed.
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
--cacert <CA certificate>
(SSL) Tells curl to use the specified certificate file to verify
the peer. The file may contain multiple CA certificates. The
certificate(s) must be in PEM format. Normally curl is built to
use a default file for this, so this option is typically used to
alter that default file.
#roens is correct. This affects all Anaconda users, with below error
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none
The workaround is to use the default system curl and avoid messing with the prepended Anaconda PATH variable. You can either
Rename the Anaconda curl binary :)
mv /path/to/anaconda/bin/curl /path/to/anaconda/bin/curl_anaconda
OR remove Anaconda curl
conda remove curl
$ which curl
/usr/bin/curl

If anyone is still having trouble, try this, it worked for me.
Delete the files in your /etc/ssl/certs/ directory
then reinstall ca-certificates:
sudo apt install ca-certificates --reinstall
Did this when I tried installing Linuxbrew.
Another alternative to fix this problem is to disable the certificate validation:
echo insecure >> ~/.curlrc
For PHP code running on XAMPP on Windows I found I needed to edit php.ini to include the below
[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo = curl-ca-bundle.crt
and then copy to a file https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and rename to curl-ca-bundle.crt and place it under \xampp path (I couldn't get curl.capath to work). I also found the CAbundle on the cURL site wasn't enough for the remote site I was connecting to, so used one that is listed with a pre-compiled Windows version of curl 7.47.1 at http://winampplugins.co.uk/curl/
I had the exact same problem. As it turns out, my /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt file was malformed. The last entry showed something like this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEDTCCAvWgAwIBAgIJAN..lots of certificate text....AwIBAgIJAN-----END CERTIFICATE-----
After adding a newline before -----END CERTIFICATE-----, curl was able handle the certificates file.
This was very annoying to find out since my update-ca-certificates command did not give me any warning.
This may or may not be a version specific problem of curl, so here is my version, just for completeness:
curl --version
# curl 7.51.0 (x86_64-alpine-linux-musl) libcurl/7.51.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2j zlib/1.2.8 libssh2/1.7.0
# Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
# Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP UnixSockets
This worked for me
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates
then go into the certificates folder at
sudo cd /etc/ssl/certs
then you copy the ca-certificates.crt file into the /etc/pki/tls/certs
sudo cp ca-certificates.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs
if there is no tls/certs folder: create one and change permissions using chmod 777 -R folderNAME
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default
bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.
for example
curl --insecure http://........
It seems your curl points to a non-existing file with CA certs or similar.
For the primary reference on CA certs with curl, see: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
Just create the folders, which is missing in your system..
/etc/pki/tls/certs/
and create the file using the following command,
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates
and then copy and paste the certificate to the destination folder, which is showing in your error.. mine was " with message 'error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt CApath: none' in " make sure you paste the file to the exact location mentioned in the error. Use the following command to copy paste..
sudo cp /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
Fixed.
I've got the same problem : I'm building a alpine based docker image, and when I want to curl to a website of my organisation, this error appears. To solve it, I have to get the CA cert of my company, then, I have to add it to the CA certs of my image.
Get the CA certificate
Use OpenSSL to get the certificates related to the website :
openssl s_client -showcerts -servername my.company.website.org -connect my.company.website.org:443
This will output something like :
CONNECTED(00000005)
depth=2 CN = UbisoftRootCA
verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
...
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
...
Get the last certificate (the content between the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and the
-----END CERTIFICATE----- markups included) and save it into a file (mycompanyRootCA.crt for example)
Build your image
Then, when you'll build your docker image from alpine, do the following :
FROM alpine
RUN apk add ca-certificates curl
COPY mycompanyRootCA.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/mycompanyRootCA.crt
RUN update-ca-certificates
Your image will now work properly ! \o/
I came across this curl 77 problem while was trying to access elasticsearch running in docker container on Ubuntu 20.04 localhost. Afrer container was started:
Check curl without ssl: curl --cacert http_ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200 -k lowercase -k for insecure connection.
Check curl configs: curl-config --configure, noticed what is ca-bundle: --with-ca-bundle=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.
Copy http_ca.crt file from container to:/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/, original command is here.
Run update on ca-certificates: sudo update-ca-certificates.
Run curl: curl -u elastic:<password> https://localhost:9201.
Finally got response with "tagline" : "You Know, for Search".
Change <password> to the one that was generated when Docker Image was run.
Also notice that on my machine elastic was started on port 9201 (don't know why: sudo ss -tlpn | grep 9200 gives me nothing), I have found the port with: sudo netstat -ntlp and Programm name was docker-proxy.
For what it's worth, checking which curl is being run is significant too.
A user on a shared machine I maintain had been getting this error. But the cause turned out to be because they'd installed Anaconda (http://continuum.io). Doing so put Anaconda's binary path before the standard $PATH, and it comes with its own curl binary, which had trouble finding the default certs that were installed on this Ubuntu machine.
Just find this solution works perfectly for me.
echo 'cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt' > ~/.curlrc
I found this solution from here
Run following command in git bash that works fine for me
git config --global http.sslverify "false"
I use MobaXterm which intern uses Cygwin so even after installing ca-certificates using apt-cyg install ca-certificates problem didn't resolve.
I was still getting the following error:
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CApath: none
Then I tried listing the file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and I couldn't find it. However I could find /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt with all standard CA certificates so I copied the file /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt as /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and problem got resolved.
I had this problem as well. My issue was this file:
/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
is by default just an empty file. So even if it exists, you'll still get the error as it doesn't contain any certificates. You can generate them like this:
p11-kit extract --overwrite --format pem-bundle /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/blob/master/ca-certificates/ca-certificates.install
For windows :-
Download the certificate from https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html
Rename cacert.pem to curl-ca-bundle.crt
Add the file to any of the below locations
Check this for details https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html

Curl cannot find the certificate file

Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
PHP 7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 (cli) ( NTS )
curl 7.47.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.47.0 GnuTLS/3.4.10 zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.32 librtmp/2.3
In the home directory, I created a .curlrc file, with the following in it:
cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
When I do:
ls -l /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
produces:
-rwxr-x--x 1 phptools phptools 274340 Jan 18 20:03 /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
However, when I try doung a curl call from my php script, I get the following error:
error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs
CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
The certificate is there. What am I doing wrong?
FYI, the .curlrc file in your home directory won't have any effect on curl in PHP.
But the issue is most likely that CAfile needs to be an actual file, not a path. When curl goes to check those, it's failing because that isn't a file.
You might try correcting that using these php.ini settings or using CURLOPT_CAINFO in your code (e.g. curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt');
If things (cURL, OpenSSL, GnuTLS) were built with CAfile as a path instead of a file, this needs to be corrected at compile time.

cURL to DropBox using Symfony 3

I use the Gaufrette Bundle of Symfony to access DropBox API.
The code in my controller is
$dropbox = $this->get('acme.dropbox.api');
$dropbox->getAccountInfo();
I get an error
Curl error: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: rootca
CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
500 Internal Server Error - Dropbox_Exception_NotFound
I used Docker so I'm not sure if it's with the way I configured the certificates on my Docker. I used the https://github.com/eko/docker-symfony bundle for Docker.
The problem was it couldn't find the certificate file.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt");
On my docker box the certificates are in folder /etc/ssl/certs and I had to write the file extension as well.
