 * Hi! I have the same problem. I have tried several things but not luck yet.
 *  My system is old I know, but I can´t change it.
 *  OS: Darwin
    Server: Apache/2.2.17 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.7l DAV/2
   PHP/5.2.15
 *  I really need help on this. I can’t install any update or plugin automatically,
   only manual.
 *  WP HTTP Error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
   error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

 * looks like the plugin is not the issue but a server misconfiguration with SSL
   certificate (if you don’t run any or unaware of this, something is telling the
   server to run on https, but without a valid certificate)
 * you need to check that with your host

 * The issue showed up before upgrading from 4.0 to 4.2.x before that everything
   was ok and we neved had trouble with any SSL configuration.
 * Actually we do not use any certificate on the website. What else can it be ?

 * I had a update.php line 115 error after updating from 4.1 i think to 4.4 and 
   this resolved my issue after i saw multiple ssl errors. and i am pretty sure 
   i don’t have any ssl enabled for wordpress.
 * wp-includes/certificates/ca-bundle.crt renamed to old and used the one from the
   link here.

 * For me [http://usability-weblog.de/wordpress-download-fehlgeschlagen-ssl-certificate-verify-failed](http://usability-weblog.de/wordpress-download-fehlgeschlagen-ssl-certificate-verify-failed)
   works.
    I translate: folder in wp_content (“mu-plugins”) with one php-file. In
   this one there is
 *     ```
       add_filter('https_ssl_verify', '__return_false');
       add_filter('https_local_ssl_verify', '__return_false');
       ```
   
 * Hope it helps!

 * Thanks DrTomEagle,
    I had the problem I couldn’t update my wordpress modules 
   and now it works after using your solution:
 * > Solution
   > This is because WordPress is using its own certificate bundle, overriding the

   > Upload this file to: wp-includes/certificates/ca-bundle.crt
 * Be blessed by Jesus!

 * It is not WordPress having an old bundle, it is WordPress using a new certificate
   bundle that has removed old rsa 1024 root or intermediate certificates from the
   chain. Older ( still in use) versions of OpenSSl cannot find or use the new certificates.
