Paypal IPN: certificate verify failed

Question

Since yesterday I'm unable to receive paypal ipn notifications. I've check the log file and the error is:

[24-Mar-2015 13:48:44] cURL error: [60] SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Any thoughts ?

It seems the certificate wasn't valid anymore.

I followed the code comments on the paypal ipn listener sample and downloaded a new certificate from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html (HTTPS from github: ca-bundle.crt) and replaced the old one. Problem solved.

I hope it helps others.

Where can I find the old one to replace? – DJack Jun 08 '15 at 10:39
@ZetaAl, The path to the old cert should be somewhere on your curl code block. – Pedro Lobito Jun 08 '15 at 18:00
Thank you for your reply, I already find out that, but I have some problems implementing it.. I started a new question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30709289/paypal-using-ipn-and-ssl – DJack Jun 09 '15 at 06:34

I've fixed it by updating root certificates in Ubuntu by running sudo update-ca-certificates
