CURL: SSL certificate fails, verify that the CA cert is OK - php

I am running a local XAMPP server on a windows machine.
From this server I am trying to connect to an SSL encrypted page via CURL.
I did run into the following error:
SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
I realize that I could simply disable SSL verification by using...
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
..but I really don´t want to do this, that´s the point of using SSL.
I´ve seen several answers here that point to to set the CURL Option "CURLOPT_CAINFO" to a .pem file that can be acquired here: http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, 'C:\xampp\cacert.pem' );
I did put the file in the given folder, and run the above command before running curl_exec. But I still get the same error as before.
I also tried to download the certificate from the site that I am trying to connect with, but the error message is still the same.
PHP can access the .pem file, with file_get_contents for example, so it does not appear to be a file access / permission problem.
What could be the cause for this problem to persist?
I am running:
PHP Version: 5.2.9
cURL Information: libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8i zlib/1.2.3

Tardy response but I had same problem and the way I fixed it was to upgrade to php 5.3. I have seen nothing that explicit that says "5.2 does not do proper certificate validation" but you have everything right by using CURLOPT_CAINFO. Upgrade to 5.3 and it will work.

curl error 60 while downloading https://www.phpmyadmin.net/packages.json: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate [duplicate]

I'm running PHP Version 5.6.3 as part of XAMPP on Windows 7.
When I try to use the Mandrill API, I'm getting the following error:
Uncaught exception 'Mandrill_HttpError' with message 'API call to messages/send-template failed: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate'
I already tried everything I read on StackOverflow, including adding the following to the php.ini file:
curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\php\cacert.pem"
And ofcourse downloaded to that location the cacert.pem file from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
but after all that, restarted XAMPP and Apache server but still getting the same error.
I really don't know what else to try.
Can anyone advise on what else can I try?
Finally got this to work!
Download the certificate bundle.
Put it somewhere. In my case, that was c:\wamp\ directory (if you are using Wamp 64 bit then it's c:\wamp64\).
Enable mod_ssl in Apache and php_openssl.dll in php.ini (uncomment them by removing ; at the beginning). But be careful, my problem was that I had two php.ini files and I need to do this in both of them. One is the one you get from your WAMP taskbar icon, and another one is, in my case, in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\
Add these lines to your cert in both php.ini files:
curl.cainfo="C:/wamp/cacert.pem"
openssl.cafile="C:/wamp/cacert.pem"
Restart Wamp services.
Editor's note: disabling SSL verification has security implications. Without verification of the authenticity of SSL/HTTPS connections, a malicious attacker can impersonate a trusted endpoint (such as GitHub or some other remote Git host), and you'll be vulnerable to a Man-in-the-Middle Attack.
Be sure you fully understand the security issues before using this as a solution.
I had the same problem in Mandrill.php file after line number 65 where it says $this->ch = curl_init();
Add following two lines:
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
This solved my problem and also sent email using localhost but I suggest to NOT use it on live version live. On your live server the code should work without this code.
Thanks #Mladen Janjetovic,
Your suggestion worked for me in mac with ampps installed.
Copied: http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
To: /Applications/AMPPS/extra/etc/openssl/certs/cacert.pem
And updated php.ini with that path and restarted Apache:
[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo="/Applications/AMPPS/extra/etc/openssl/certs/cacert.pem"
openssl.cafile="/Applications/AMPPS/extra/etc/openssl/certs/cacert.pem"
And applied same setting in windows AMPPS installation and it worked perfectly in it too.
[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo="C:/Ampps/php/extras/ssl/cacert.pem"
openssl.cafile="C:/Ampps/php/extras/ssl/cacert.pem"
:
Same for wamp.
[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an

curl.cainfo="C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.6.16/extras/ssl/cacert.pem"
openssl.cafile="C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.6.16/extras/ssl/cacert.pem"
If you are looking for generating new SSL certificate using SAN for localhost, steps on this post worked for me on Centos 7 / Vagrant / Chrome Browser.
When you view the http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html page, you will notice in big letters a section called:
RSA-1024 removed
Read it, then download the version of the certificates that includes the 'RSA-1024' certificates.
https://github.com/bagder/ca-bundle/blob/e9175fec5d0c4d42de24ed6d84a06d504d5e5a09/ca-bundle.crt
Those will work with Mandrill.
Disabling SSL is a bad idea.
The above steps, though helpful, didnt work for me on Windows 8. I don't know the co-relation, but the below steps worked. Basically a change in the cacert.pem file. Hope this helps someone.
Download cacert.pem file from here:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
Save the file in your PHP installation folder. (eg: If using xampp – save it in c:\Installation_Dir\xampp\php\cacert.pem).
Open your php.ini file and add these lines:
curl.cainfo=”C:\Installation_Dir\xampp\php\cacert.pem”
openssl.cafile=”C:\Installation_Dir\xampp\php\cacert.pem”
Restart your Apache server and that should fix it (Simply stop and start the
services as needed).
Note: disabling SSL verification has security implications. Without verification of the authenticity of SSL/HTTPS connections, a malicious attacker can impersonate a trusted endpoint (such as GitHub or some other remote Git host), and you'll be vulnerable to a Man-in-the-Middle Attack.
Be sure you fully understand the security issues before using this as a solution.
I found new Solution without any required certification to call curl only add two line code.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
If you don't have access to php.ini, adding this code (after your $ch = curl_init(); line) works for me:
$certificate_location = "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-Devserver-16.1\ca-bundle.crt"; // modify this line accordingly (may need to be absolute)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, $certificate_location);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAPATH, $certificate_location);
Then, you will just need to download ca-bundle.crt and save it to location you specified in $certificate_location.
Editor's note: disabling SSL verification has security implications. Without verification of the authenticity of SSL/HTTPS connections, a malicious attacker can impersonate a trusted endpoint (such as GitHub or some other remote Git host), and you'll be vulnerable to a Man-in-the-Middle Attack.
Be sure you fully understand the security issues before using this as a solution.
I tried this it works
open
vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php
and change this
$conf[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST] = 2;
$conf[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER] = true;
to this
$conf[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST] = 0;
$conf[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER] = FALSE;

elaborating on the above answers for server deployment.
$hostname = gethostname();
if($hostname=="mydevpc")
{
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
}
should do the trick for development environment without compromising the server when deployed.
I was facing a problem like this in my local system but not in the live server. I also mentioned another solution on this page its before, but that was not working in localhost.so find a new solution of this, that is working in the localhost-WAMP Server.
cURL Error #:SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer
certificate
sometimes system could not find your cacert.pem in your drive. so you can define this in your code where you are going to use CURL
Note that i am fulfilling all conditions for this like OPEN-SSL library active and other things.
check this code of CURL.
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL =>$url,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER=> true,
));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "f:/wamp/bin/cacert.pem"); // <------
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAPATH, "f:/wamp/bin/cacert.pem"); // <------
$response = json_decode(curl_exec($curl),true);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
but this solution may not work in live server. because of absolute path of cacert.pem
On Amazon Linux (CentOS / Red Hat etc) I did the following to fix this issue. First copy the cacert.pem downloaded from http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and put it in the /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ directory. Then run the update-ca-trust command.
Here is a one liner taken from https://serverfault.com/questions/394815/how-to-update-curl-ca-bundle-on-redhat
curl https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem -o /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/curl-cacert-updated.pem && update-ca-trust
However since curl was broken I actually used this command to download the cacert.pem file.
wget --no-check-certificate http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
After running the update-ca-trust command you can restart the web server service httpd restart for apache or service nginx restart for nginx.
I have Very Simple Solution of this problem. You can do this without any certificate file.
Note that this solution is valid for local system not client server and Production server.
Go on Laravel Root Folder -> Vender -> guzzlehttp -> guzzle -> src
open Client.php
find $defaults Array . that look like this way ..
$defaults = [
'allow_redirects' => RedirectMiddleware::$defaultSettings,
'http_errors' => true,
'decode_content' => true,
'verify' => true,
'cookies' => false
];
Now main Job is to change value of verify key ..
'verify' => false,
So After this it will not check SSL Certificate for CURL Request... This Solution is work for me. I find this solution after many research ...
I had the same issue during building my app in AppVeyor.
Download https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem to c:\php
Enable openssl echo extension=php_openssl.dll >> c:\php\php.ini
Locate certificateecho curl.cainfo=c:\php\cacert.pem >> c:\php\php.ini
I have a proper solution of this problem, lets try and understand the root cause of this issue. This issue comes when remote servers ssl cannot be verified using root certificates in your system's certificate store or remote ssl is not installed along with chain certificates. If you have a linux system with root ssh access, then in this case you can try updating your certificate store with below command:
update-ca-certificates
If still, it doesn't work then you need to add root and interim certificate of remote server in your cert store. You can download root and intermediate certs and add them in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates directory and then run command update-ca-certificates. This should do the trick. Similarly for windows you can search how to add root and intermediate cert.
The other way you can solve this problem is by asking remote server team to add ssl certificate as a bundle of domain root cert, intermediate cert and root cert.
Another reason this error can occur is if a CA bundle has been removed from your system (and is no longer available in ca-certificates).
This is currently the situation with the GeoTrust Global CA which (among other things) is used to sign Apple's certificate for APNS used for Push Notifications.
Additional details can be found on the bug report here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=962596
You can manually add the GeoTrust Global CA certificate on your machine as suggested by Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez:
wget --no-check-certificate -c https://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/certificates/GeoTrust_Global_CA.pem \
&& mkdir /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/extra \
&& mv GeoTrust_Global_CA.pem /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/extra/GeoTrust_Global_CA.crt \
&& update-ca-certificates
If none of the solutions above are working for you try updating your XAMPP installation to a newer version.
I was running XAMPP with php 5.5.11, the same exact code didn't work, I upgraded to XAMPP with php 5.6.28 and the solutions above worked.
Additionally only updating PHP didn't work either seems like a combination of apache and php settings on that version of XAMPP.
Hope it helps someone.
I got the error like :
failed loading cafile stream: `C:\xamppPhp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt`
I am using windows machine. So I followed the below steps.
1. I have downloaded .pem file from " https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html "
2. Then I kept the downloaded file inside "C:/xamppPhp/apache/bin/" folder and renamed the same downloaded file to "curl-ca-bundle.crt".
3. I restarted XAMPP and cleared the cache.
4. It's done.
Hope it may help someone
simply put two more line on local to solve the issue and this worked for me fine.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
for guzzle you can try this :
$client = new Client(env('API_HOST'));
$client->setSslVerification(false);
tested on guzzle/guzzle 3.*

How to fix Curl SSL CA Cert error

I implemented the Xero-API using this library, having implemented it, it worked fine on localhost, then i uploaded to my server then i get this error
Curl error: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)
Assuming that the certs do exist in the path and php has the ability to access the server. Try restart apache first, it might be something simple, if not try regenerate the cert, it might have gotten corrupt somehow.

CurlException: 77: Prblem with the SSL CA cert on facebook login

I'm trying to launch login system with facebook using facebook PHP SDK, but I get this error:
CurlException: 77: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)
I have tried it on another server and it worked brilliantly.
On this server where it does not work I have tried everything I could find on the Internet. I have tried these solutions:
http://ahoj.io/facebook-php-api-without-curl-extension
adding fb_ca_chain_bundle.crt (yes, I chmoded 777 the file and the directory)
adding cacert.pem
adding curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); before curl_exec()
None of these worked. Is it possible that hosting providers could solve this issue? Because a few days ago this script worked brilliantly on both test servers.
I had the same problem. Recently, Facebook changed its encryption, so I installed Mcrypt extension and it works again.

Can't make SSL connection with cURL/PHP from local machine, works from web server

I have been using EasyPHP 5.3.2i on Windows XP for a few years and I like to test my website offline before uploading it to my web server. This has always been fine until now, when I need to incorporate SSL connections as part of its functionality. My code works fine when running on the web server, but when trying to open an SSL connection from my local computer (127.0.0.1 etc.) I get the following:
SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
It was easy enough to install the certificate on my web server, but placing it in the same directory on my local setup doesn't fix this error. Do I have to install it elsewhere or is there something else preventing my establishing an SSL connection here?
Try setting the cURL option CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to false. This will disable verification of the peer's certificate. However, you only want to use this option on your testing server. You can view the full list of options here.
