PHP CURL error with AWS

Question

I am experiencing a very strange error with AWS and the PHP SDK. I am able to connect to S3 with my PHP code and store objects in my bucket when using my local server on my laptop. I am also able to connect to S3 on our test/staging server. However, on our production server, I keep getting the following error when I try to connect:

cURL resource: Resource id #8; cURL error: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) (77)

I have tried adding this line in the config.inc.php file for AWS SDK, which was a solution mentioned in the AWS forums:

define('AWS_CERTIFICATE_AUTHORITY', true);

But the error still persists. Any idea what may be wrong or how I can trouble shoot something like this?

Here's what it says in the Apache error log:

About to connect() to mydb.s3.amazonaws.com port 443 (#0) * Trying 223.33.211.223... * connected * Connected to mydb.s3.amazonaws.com (223.33.211.223) port 443 (#0) * Initializing NSS with certpath: /etc/pki/nssdb * Unable to initialize NSS database * NSS error -8023 * Closing connection #0 * Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

Cheers!

Yes, I am using PHP SDK 1.5.0

In the code itself we can add the following line to avoid the fatal error for testing purpose.

error_reporting(E_WARNING);

$s3 = new AmazonS3();
$s3->disable_ssl();
$s3->disable_ssl_verification();

Otherwise we will add the following line in our php.ini file at the end for SSL Certificate.

[PHP]
curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\htdocs\aws\sdk\lib\requestcore\cacert.pem"

My bucket name has dots in it and this information helped me use $s3->list_objects(). THANK YOU!

Turns out there was a problem with the NSS database. The apache error logs were showing this:

Initializing NSS with certpath: /etc/pki/nssdb * Unable to initialize NSS database * NSS error -8023

After generating a new NSS database and re-starting apache, the problem was resolved.

Also in version 1.5, they came out with an entirely new format for the config.inc.php file. It's really nice if you manage multiple sets of credentials.
