How about downgrading that glibc until there’s a fix? The problem is in glibc version 2.23-0ubuntu6
We are getting that error too. After we restart the server it works, but it keep happening again.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
You’re probably hit by the latest security update from Ubuntu, which messed up some certificates, which PHP uses to make the secure connection. https://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3239-1/
Run this
service php7.0-fpm restartand it should fix it. Or simply restart your server. People running Apache, needs to restart that withservice apache restart
