cURL 60 error – no curl.cainfo set in PHP, but ISP won’t set it.

    Hi,

    I have an issue setting up SiteKit, and looking through the errors, I my errors are similar to those found when php.ini doesn’t specifically point to cacert.pem in curl.cainfo
    https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/issues/1588

    The site DNS is through Cloudflare, but cert through a different (valid) CA.

    Unfortunately I’m not expecting my hosting provider is actually going to set that, so I’m curious if anyone has suggestions or workarounds for this problem.

    (edited)For additional information I do see error google_api_connection_failed immediately after activating SiteKit, and whenever I try to set it up.

    Thanks!

    Apologies for not getting back to the ticket. In case anyone finds this by searching, I wanted to add my solution. Since this was a shared host, the provider wasn’t going to add the cacert.pem in the php.ini. However they pointed towards the use of a .user.ini that overrides any settings in the php.ini.

    Here is the php guide for setting that file: https://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.per-user.php

    Thanks!

    Many thanks for the additional insights, very useful indeed. The user.ini in particular should be of use for other users on shared hosting platforms.

    If you have any further queries be sure to get in touch, and once you get an opportunity to play around with the various dashboards be sure to share your plugin feedback.
