 * Hi I am using the latest version of your plugin and I am getting an issue with
   minify. Output is below
 * W3 Total Cache error:It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working. Please verify
   that the server configuration allows .htaccess
    Unfortunately minification will
   not function without custom rewrite rules. Please ask your server administrator
   for assistance. Also refer to the install page for the rules for your server.
 * .htaccess file contains rules to rewrite url [https://garethsworld.com/wp-content/cache/minify/000001/w3tc_rewrite_test](https://garethsworld.com/wp-content/cache/minify/000001/w3tc_rewrite_test).
   If handled by plugin, it returns “OK” message.
    The plugin made a request to 
   [https://garethsworld.com/wp-content/cache/minify/000001/w3tc_rewrite_test](https://garethsworld.com/wp-content/cache/minify/000001/w3tc_rewrite_test)
   but received: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
   error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
   instead of “OK” response.
 * I had a good google around but I could not solve. Obviously this has something
   to dos with my server certificate but i have no idea where to start

 * When I click the link you posted I get an OK reply. Do you still get an error
   message in the adminstration?
 * In any case these types of issues is best handled with ones web host first.
