I was able to clear this error & authenticate the analytics account with the collowing:

1. SSH to site root
2. wget https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
3. Open wp-config.php
4. At end add:
define(“curl.cainfo”,”/cacert.pem”);

Had to do it this way on Hostgator, since the php.ini file was untouchable & I didn’t want to break wordpress with a generic ini file.

This only helped the google plugin; the dashboard RSS widget displays the same path?.., error. Doh!

Good Luck.

Is this a secure solution, since the https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem is public anyway?

Thanks,
Dave
