How can I install Twitter API SSL Root CA Certificate

Posted April 26, 2014

Hi, I’m having issues with my Twitter application on Digital Ocean and I found out (already tried on my local server XAMPP) that I need to install the Root CA Certificate (https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/533).

I managed to easily do it on my local server but I can’t find out how to do it on my droplet here (I use LAMP on Ubuntu 12.04).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

@diego: What is the actual error that you’re seeing? Why do you think the problem is with the certificate?

Ugh, I don’t get it. It’s not working. On my local server its working like a charm, but on my droplet no. Do you think its related to something on curl? My code is this one, it returns nothing on $response: require_once(‘lib/TwitterAPIExchange.php’); include “config.php”; $url = ‘https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json’; $getfield = ‘?q=porra&result_type=recent&count=100’; $requestMethod = ‘GET’; $twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings); $response = $twitter->setGetfield($getfield) ->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod) ->performRequest();

sudo wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -O /usr/lib/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
