Plesk for Linux kb: technical

Applicable to:

  • Plesk for Linux

Symptoms

  • On Plesk Interface the Home - What's New box may show the following error when trying to open it:

    PLESK_ERROR: error setting certificate verify locations: Error in cURL request: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?

Cause

PHP cURL uses an outdated set of root certificates to verify server certificates.

Resolution

  1. Connect to the server via SSH

  2. Download the CA certificate store from the official cURL website and move it to the directory /etc/ssl/certs/:

    # wget https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem && mv cacert.pem /etc/ssl/certs/

  3. Add the following line into the end of the file /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini:

    CONFIG_TEXT: curl.cainfo="/etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem"

  4. Restart the Plesk engine service via the following command:

    # systemctl restart sw-engine

    Once this is done, you should be able to see the What's New box without issues
