Something may be wrong with www.ads-software.com or server's configuration

Hi Tanveer,

Looks like ssl problem!

Refer to:

Thank you @yoga1103

But, unfortunately, I don’t see any issues regarding ssl problem. Anyway can you be more specific about this concern?

Thank you again.

Hi Tanveer,

Hello,

Last link provided by yoga1103 is now outdated and a bit of a jumble in the words of WPyogi, and has been closed.

I have exactly the same problem as tanveer.rahat (first post here), on XAMPP, and this is driving me mad.

I have launched the HTTPS Tester as well as the Background Update Tester plugins. In essence, cURL and OpenSSL are working OK, and httpd.conf, php.ini, httpd-ssl.conf, and hosts have been tweaked a zillion of times. After all those tweakings, my localhost system still works OK. Everything is OK in fact.

With the exception of lines 123, 303, and 467 of file wp-includes/update.php, where WordPress could not establish a secure connection to www.ads-software.com.

Is there anything obvious that I didn’t think yet?

My website is on OSX 10.11.2 (El Capitan) and WordPress at 4.4.1.

The problem with OS X El Capitan is that Apple decided to downgrade OpenSSL in favor of their own proprietary security library.

WordPress is going to need at least OpenSSL 1.0. The current version of OpenSSL is 1.0.2e, the version installed with OS X 10.11.x is 0.9.8zg.

For instructions on how to fix this on OS X 10.11.x, see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/another-os-x-upgrade-another-jetpack-conflict?replies=9#post-7576537 (yes, it’s a different issue, but it’s the same fix).

For everyone else, update your local server’s copy of OpenSSL following its documentation.

For those with hosting providers, you have to contact your hosting provider to make sure they are running the latest version of OpenSSL. If you don’t believe them, ask them specifically for what version your server is running.

For the sake of completeness following my previous post, I want to let know that I’ve been able to resolve my problems of WordPress not updating the core files, themes and plugins.

And it’s something that was at the antipode of anything I could have suspected. I posted my solution here in a new thread of the WordPress Localhost Installs forum.

Thanks for sharing your solution here! ??

I have the same issues and I have updated my version of OpenSSL to 1.0.2:

hound:~# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2f  28 Jan 2016

As soon as I try to upload my exported WP file or add a plugin either via the www.ads-software.com browsing or via a ZIP file, it’s just not happy in the slightest.

I have downloaded the lasted version of WP and cleared out my HTML folder on the server and done a fresh installation.
