I'm running phpBB3, and when it tries to send an email I get this error:
SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
I tried getting help in #phpbb and on their message board, but nobody
could help me. I think this is probably more a problem with my PHP setup
than with phpBB3 specifically anyway.
The line that it reports the error at is this:
$smtp->socket = fsockopen($config['smtp_host'], $config['smtp_port'],
$errno, $errstr, 20);
Could that be an actual OpenSSL/certificate issue, or does that just
mean that php can't open internet sockets?
Someone suggested to me that maybe the server uses a self-signed
certificate or that the certificate doesn't exist on my Windows box, but
the server is AT&T - specifically outbound.att.net - wouldn't that be
big enough that I wouldn't have those problems? Also, I've gotten this
problem with several other SMTP servers I've tried. I've never been able
to connect to a single one out of about 5-6 I tried, with dozens of
variations of connection settings, though error messages varied.. I've
gotten about 5 different error messages, though "certificate verify
failed" was by far the most common.
Should I try to get the server's certificate somehow and put that in my
system manually? If so, how do I get the server's certificate and how do
I put it in my system?
Also, I don't know if it matters, but the command 'php -r
"print_r(openssl_get_cert_locations());"' returns this:
Array
(
[default_cert_file] => c:/usr/local/ssl/cert.pem
[default_cert_file_env] => SSL_CERT_FILE
[default_cert_dir] => c:/usr/local/ssl/certs
[default_cert_dir_env] => SSL_CERT_DIR
[default_private_dir] => c:/usr/local/ssl/private
[default_default_cert_area] => c:/usr/local/ssl
[ini_cafile] =>
[ini_capath] =>
)
and c:\usr isn't a directory on my system. Is that something I have to
change, and if so, how?
I hesitate to give the full error phpBB3 error message because that
might make people think this is really a phpBB3 question, but since it
may be useful, here it is:
Errno 2: fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error

I did try upgrading to the latest version of PHP 5 (just today), but
maybe I should upgrade to PHP 7? Amazingly I can't find any webpages
that explain how to do that, though. Do I just copy over all the files
and then copy over my old php.ini? Or would it be incompatible, and if
so, what's different / how do I migrate my settings?
