So close!

```
curl https://discourse.domain.com/site.json -v

```

=

```
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 10.0.0.X...
* Connected to discourse.domain.com (10.0.0.X) port 443 (#0)
* successfully set certificate verify locations:

  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.

```

If I do

```
    curl https://discourse.domain.com/site.json -v --cacert /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem

```

Then it works after adding the CA bundle for my cert to the end of the cacert file. I’m not sure why it doesn’t work without the --cacert flag because `CApath: /etc/ssl/certs` should parse the cacert.pem file that’s in that path, no?

I can curl [https://google.com](https://google.com) without specifying a cacert so I know it’s reading some authorities without problems.

I also added

```
[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo = /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem

```

to the apache php.ini file and restarted apache. Still not working in wordpress.
