note 124549 added to curl.installation

For those who may be having WordPress issues relating to curl, the answer for me was that the curl.cainfo wasn't specified in the config. This resulted in a plugin giving some non-graceful errors for which I was finally able to track it down. curl.cainfo = "C:\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem" You'll need a copy of the cacert.pem (doesn't come with PHP and does need to be updated every so often can be found at an official permalink of: https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem They use a modified version of Mozilla's certificate store meant to work with libcurl. I'm not an expert, this is just what fixed the errors for me. (cacert.pem lists official root certificate providers so your computer knows which ones its safe to authenticate against is my lay interpretation. I'm sure it's not technically accurate but close enough for us lay people.) ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 38.142.137.34 (proxied: 107.192.216.108) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/curl.installation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/124549 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124549/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124549/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124549/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124549/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124549/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124549/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124549 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/124549 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
