PHP curl is not working for https requests on Amazon Linux. This is what I get when I curl an https url: 

curl -v https://google.com
Rebuilt URL to: https://google.com/
Trying 172.217.3.174...
Connected to google.com (172.217.3.174) port 443 (#0)
Initializing NSS with certpath: sql:/etc/pki/nssdb
Closing connection 0
curl: (77) Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

I have tried different things but cannot figure out what the issue is. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Check that you have the `php_openssl` extension enabled in php.ini – RiggsFolly Feb 15 '17 at 10:47
  • The curl binary and the php curl module are independend. This has nothing to do with PHP as you are calling curl from bash. – Daniel W. Feb 15 '17 at 13:03
  • Yes but the same certificate is used by both and the problem was with my certificate. – umair Feb 15 '17 at 13:07

My certificate file was incorrect. It was being downloaded from http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem. Had to change http to https.
