Certificate Issue on CentOS 7 with Repository

Post by awingnut »

I'm running VB on CentOS 7 and can no longer access the VB repository for updates. For some reason 'curl' is giving the error:

SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

I know I can add sslverify=0 to the repo but can someone tell me how to fix the certificate problem? TIA.

This on'e hung around a couple days, I have no solid answer. But you could look through here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

Also consider this might be a problem with your Linux host rather than with Virtualbox's servers. Googling "curl SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" shows this happens on situations not Virtualbox-related.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just getting back to this now. I don't know what could cause this on my system. None of the other repositories has this problem. I guess I'll just leave sslverify=0 in the repo file.
