• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Question Curl failed: error setting certificate verify locations

Jawad

New Pleskian
I have opened connection on Windows (Plesk) Server with google server for some services, and trying to verify the peer using
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
but it gave me following error.

Curl failed: error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PHPSettings\cacert.pem
CApath: none


Then I downloaded the certificate of google server using chrome, and uploaded it manually in the root document directory of my shared plesk windows server. After that I set the path of the certificate like below, and every thing works fine.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, getcwd() . "/GoogleCA.crt");

Please guide me if the above way is secure and if not that what is the nicer and secure way to do it. Any suggestions are welcome, keeping in mind that my domain is on shared server and unable to access php.ini file. thankyou in advance.
