The SSL CA cert (path? access rights) on Ubuntu 16?

Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?). I got a SSL cert from Commodo and it installed ok. Everything seems to be working correctly and I have restarted my server and Apache2.

Service apache2 status shows no errors.

This was used:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -fy && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -fy

The issues I see online either deal with Amazons Linux (using yum) or CentOS. They said to restart the server. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and not sure what to do next?

This affects packages being downloaded such as this example:

I tried to do a command such as:

I made a composer.json file

{
  "require": {
      "aws/aws-sdk-php": "3.*"
  }
}

composer install

In my opinion SSH key is not authorized in this scenario and you need to create public SSH key and ask the admin of Git repository to add SSH public key. You can refer below URL for more information:

I encountered the git clone error on a small Debian distro (Voyage Linux), and it was because the standard root CAs weren't installed, meaning that git (and even simple things like curl https://google.com) couldn't verify the SSL certificates of HTTPS sites.

The solution at lxadm, which worked for me, was just to install ca-certificates:

sudo apt install ca-certificates

This was installed for me (18.04) and still got error but doing a sudo apt install --reinstall ca-certificates fixed it. Not sure why this was downvoted but I upvoted back to zero as it solved my issue.

This worked for me. Installing a root/CA Certificate. Given a CA certificate file foo.crt, follow these steps to install it on Ubuntu:

Create a directory for extra CA certificates in /usr/share/ca-certificates:

sudo mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra

Copy the CA .crt file to this directory:

sudo cp foo.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra/foo.crt

Let Ubuntu add the .crt file's path relative to /usr/share/ca-certificates to /etc/ca-certificates.conf:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates
