Heyho 🙂
My german hosting provider Strato, a really common one here, doenst support the verification of paypals ssl certificate. With every update of event espresso, i have to add the following in the Paypal.php located in the gateway folder in the line 90 or so:
$error["set_ssl_bundle"] = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, '/mnt/webf/a0/43/5718043/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/espresso/cacert.pem');
I uploaded a cacert.pem to verify that certificate locally.
The Error in the paypal ipn log file is the following:
Errors resulting from the execution of curl transfer: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed[07/10/2012 8:49 AM] - FAIL: IPN Validation Failed . /cgi-bin/webscr : www.sandbox.paypal.com
It would be really really great if you could add this as a durable feature like you did with FirstData, where that feature already exists… It would allow me/one who already knows thats the problem why the IPN message from paypal cant be received to automatically update event espresso without fumbling in the code.
Best regards, Marko

There has been a discussion started about how we could include a fallback PEM file for server configurations that are lacking a CA cert.
In the meantime, you can copy over the modified paypal gateway directory to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/gateways and it will not get overwritten on an update.

Hi Josh, I second Marko’s point. I have upgraded to 3.1.25.P and unlike Marko, I had forgotten I had made some changes in the php file and I had the same error.
For the people who need a code, I used this site get cURL CA cert.
This forum was also usefull CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER

Hi mcote,
The problem with bypassing the verify peer is that it is not as secure.
If you copy the entire PayPal directory to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/gateways, your changes will not be overwritten when Event Espresso is updated.
