    Hello,

    I have a feeling it’s something to do with something on the server. I think that may be a little out of my realm of expertise.

    When I google around, I see this error all over the Internet, but not a whole lot of answers to actually what it is. This isn’t directly related, as it’s in reference to some other script, but I did find this:

    1.9 Question: I am getting this error “error:0D0890A1:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_verify:unknown message digest algorithm”

    The remote connection software you are using on your server might be compiled with a very old version of OpenSSL that does not take certificates signed with sha256-With-RSA-Encryption into account. It requires at least OpenSSL 0.9.8o for a total management of SHA256.

    Please contact your server admin or hosting provider about this issue.

    My understanding of the topic is limited, but I’m wondering if something happened recently with your host that might be a cause of this. I did read about this:

    … which directly relates to OpenSSL. I would contact your webhost, I’m sure this isn’t a foreign topic to them.
