Hello everyone,
I am using ubuntu 20. Everything was fine but recently I can perform any curl request. Each time I do showing
cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)
What I tried:
- renew certificate using certbot.
- reinstalling certificate using certbot
- disable ssl verification. But then another issue arises:
cURL error 56: OpenSSL SSL_read: Connection reset by peer, errno 104 (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)4.I tried disabling the certificate usingcertbot deletebut still giving me the error.

Hello,
This error would occur when your SSL certificate has expired. You could add the
-kflag to yourcurlcommand to ignore the SSL warning.Or a better solution is to renew your certificate. You can follow the steps here on how to do that:

By removing the certificate you would no longer be able to access your domain/website via HTTPS on port 443, this is why you are getting the
Connection reset by peererror.Regards, Bobby
