WordPress could not establish a secure connection to www.remarpro.com.

  • Hi there

    I have seen this error reported a lot and topics closed but no definitive answer.

    When I try to update WordPress or reinstall the current version 3.9 or 3.9.1 I get a number of errors relating to the updates.php file.

    Here is an example of the error:

    Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with www.remarpro.com or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to www.remarpro.com. Please contact your server administrator.) in /home/sitenamechanged/public_html/wp-admin/includes/update.php on line 117

    After the errors everything seems to continue loading.

    My host says it’s a WordPress issue not the server but I’m not sure.

    Please let me know if that works for you

    Thanks for the reply Gerald ??

    I didn’t particularly want to run the site through SSL and when I check the current URL in settings it doesn’t have https:// in there.

    I just assumed it was normal for WordPress to connect securely during an update. Are WordPress updates not SSL automatically?

    PS. Changing the URL to https:// didn’t sort the issue. Thought I’d do that anyway just in case ??

    Host has provided an answer for anyone who might want to know:

    The reason why you are getting the error message is because the script attempts to access api.www.remarpro.com over SSL as it detects cURL with SSL support.

    The possible solutions for this are enabling openssl module and disabling curl SSL module and to replace it with curl module and to stop WP from using https.

    All of the above requires apache recompilation and PHP version upgrade.

    I’m having the same issue, running a local server.

    How do I go about enabling openssl module and disabling curl ssl module?

    All of my packages are up to date(running Debian).
