Hi Mike,
I’m hoping that my problem is close to being resolved. Just to bring you up to speed. I did purchase a wildcard SSL certificate and Hostgator installed. This didn’t take care of the issue. LOL! I was a little huffy about this so I sent them reams of info from the system status log.
Here’s there’s Hostgators response:
Thank you for contacting Hostgator. The latest curl package currently maintained in CentOS 6 repositories uses TLS 1.1 by default.
[root@gator3196 ~]# curl -V
curl 7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.19.1 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps scp sftp
Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz
With that said curl 7.19 does support TLS 1.2, but that will need to be specified in the PHP code for your plugin. You would need to contact the developer of the plugin or your site to have them add CURLOPT code the the plugins scripts to specify use of TLS 1.2.
Unfortunately this issue is out of our hands. Because your Shared server is shared by many other customers, we cannot install custom packages from not-recommend third party repositories. Versions of curl that use TLS 1.2 by default will need to be approved and added to the official CentOS repositories by their maintainers, or the plugin will need to be updated to address the matter.
My question to you Mike is, how do we, I correct this this. Please bear in mind I am NOT NOT a developer. I’m a plugin and go store of person. However I do follow instructions well as long as they are step by step and clear.
Here is a snippet of the Woocommerce systems log that I sent.
