How to fix the Curl Error: error setting certificate verify locations
Today I had a new server running CentOS5 have trouble with a known good authorize.net library using curl. It was producing the following error:
error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt CApath: none
After some research I found it was based on the inability for the apache user to access the ca-bundle.crt file. You will find solutions on the web suggesting adding curl_setopt($link, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); to your script to disable the peer verification — I suggest you not do this and simply fix the permissions for your CA file.
Execute this:
/bin/chmod 755 /etc/pki/tls/certs
Solved!

Hello,
I am having issues with this error:
Error: Cannot execute request: error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/certification.cer
CApath: none
I’ve tried permissions. On my Mac 10.5 I can change the permissions for 755 to read and write. on Mac 10.4 I cannot. I used terminal. and inputed this:
/bin/chmod 755 /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/certification.cer
is this the write code? I also created a file with the cer at the end of the name as shown upbove. Is this permitted?
any help would be very appreciated.
I am working on Wordpress page running MAMP using LocalHost to edit page
thanks
Chris
