Question

Had setup LAMP server, my application is supposed to receive request from a server in Kenya. But it gives 404 error on the other side

Had setup LAMP server on Ubuntu 16.04, my application is supposed to receive request from a server in Kenya. Whenever the server in Kenya sends request at my sever, then I don’t receive any request and on their side they get error: 404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Can anyone help what is the reason?

<1004 tbroker [sag] :/home/sag>curl https://topladylingerie.co.ke
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
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). The default
 bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; 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.

But when I ran these commands on some other server then I got the response showing content of the homepage of the website.

What might be the reason for this?

Hello @hansen

well i have installed the certs, but the company in Kenya required to verify the “http” requests first then it will move to “https”. I have also created a support ticket support ticket for the same, but it seems that support reply comes on a particular time only.

I can say that I was able to receive some of the requests on my end, but every request. As you already have provide much of the information, can you suggest anything else which can help to end this once and for all.

Thank You
