由于ssl ca问题，mandrill web hook失败了

Question

i'm using mandrill and setting up webhooks is failing. i moved my domain to a new server and set up ssl again.

now when i look at the web hooks admin page i see this error: - Error: POST to https://my.website.com/hooks/mandrill.php failed: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

when i try to change the url for this webhook, all i get is - We can't verify that the URL exists. More info

when i contacted mandrill support they suggested that it may be missing intermediate CA for my SSL cert. That browsers wouldn't care but the server did care and would fail.

Answer 1

this url helped me figure out that indeed my intermediate CA was not installed - https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html

ends up i didn't have the intermediate CA enabled in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf. the lines were commented out. i removed the comments and restarted apache and all is working well now.

i could save the changed webhook and when i clicked send test it sent them. however there still was a stale error on the webhook about the ssl issue. but it was no longer preventing me from editting or sending webhooks

hope this saves someone else some time
