Github Branches Error

[OllieMackJames]

I get the following error inside processwire admin:

Error loading GitHub branches https://api.github.com/repos/ryancramerdesign/Processwire/branches

Any ideas what this could be?

I am running ProcessWire 2.5.3

Thanks!

thanks adrian, not sure if that is what the trouble is here.

I went into config.php and set the debug to true and this is what shows:

Warning: fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed in /xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/wire/core/WireHttp.php on line 428

Warning: fsockopen(): Failed to enable crypto in /xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/wire/core/WireHttp.php on line 428

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://api.github.com:443 (Unknown error) in /xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/wire/core/WireHttp.php on line 428

Anybody have an idea what the trouble is here?

Thanks!

Problem solved, posting solution in case others run into same stuff.

The error had to do with php 5.6 ssl certificate verification.

I got this error message(s):
- fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
- fsockopen(): Failed to enable crypto
- fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://xx.xx.xx:443 (Unknown error)

I am on a freebsd 9.3 server and followed these steps to get things sorted out, posting here to help others who might run into same trouble.

Logged in via ssh
- # locate cert.pem
- on my server it was found in /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem
- added following to php.ini: openssl.cafile=/usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem
- restart httpd service

Problem solved, so it had nothing to do with processwire, but my update to php 5.6, good luck!

In case someone else encounters this issue, here's how I solved it.

• You will need sudo access to the server.
• Go to https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
  You'll see on the bottom a command to download the latest CA certificate bundle.

  curl --remote-name --time-cond cacert.pem https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

   

• Download the bundle to some directory and copy it to /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem with

  sudo cp cacert.pem /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem

   

• Find out where php.ini is stored using

  locate php.ini
  # check for ..../fpm/php.ini

  then open php.ini inside some editor 

  sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini

   

• Find where CA certs are defined with CTRL + W (search) and type cafile and hit enter, cursor will jump to the correct line

• Uncomment the line (remove semicolon) and type /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem after = sign.

• Restart php service with

  sudo service php7.0-fpm restart

   

• Hopefully this will be enough to get rid of fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1 error.
