I'm attempting to save something to my DB but the default flow requires a successful call to geocode lat/lng before saving, which is when this error is thrown.
The error I get is:
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed
I googled it and found what seemed to be a similar issue with RubyGems. I followed the instructions to manually change the ssl by downloading a new one and copying it into the ssl_certs directory to no avail.
My environment:
OpenSSL 0.9.8zh 14 Jan 2016
RVM 1.29.1
Ruby 2.2.2p95
Rails 4.2.7
Try running
gem update --system
Also make sure your openssl is linked
brew link openssl
I was able to resolve my issue with what I consider to be a bit of a hack, but it may work for you. I just disabled SSL verification in the controller that throws the error with the following line of code:
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
From what I can tell, there's an issue with what certs Ruby and RVM use and it differs between versions. Every fix I tried involved downloading new certs and manually placing them in the Ruby or OpenSSL directories but that didn't work. Here are some of the resources I consulted during this adventure:

C:\>gem install rhc
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rhc' (>= 0), here is why:
Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
tried with the following commands:
gem sources -r https://rubygems.org
gem sources -a http://rubygems.org
But still same error exists when trying to setup rhc.
rhc setup
By following these steps rhc gem is installed successfully, but when executing "rhc setup" for connecting to openshift here is the error message rather connecting to openshift server
The problem is that your Windows machine does not recognize the rubygems server certificate as a trusted certificate because Windows don't have its authority certificate present in its trusted certs store.
As a quick fix you'd need to remove the HTTPS version of the rubygems source URL (not HTTP as you did):
gem sources -r https://rubygems.org
This quick fix should make rubygems use the HTTP version which has no certificate checks involved.
But this should not be the definitive fix. Instead you should add the HTTPS source back (using the -a option) and install a proper CA certificate for the rubygems server cert into your windows trusted CA certs store.
There are quite a few pages that deal with this procedure on the net (google this), e.g. the post here has steps to download and install all CA certificates from the curl command, to your Windows machine, that fixes the problem permanently and without lowering security.
The reason and fix for the problem is stated here
Previously, this certificate was provided by one Certificate Authority, but the new certificate is provided by a different one.
Because of this, verions of RubyGems with both certificates were released, in an attempt to simplify the change.
However, at the scale RubyGems operates at, it’s impossible to make sure everybody updates the software. There are also operating systems shipping with old versions. As such, sometimes manual intervention (as described above) is required.
This has been described on Issue #1050
To fix the problem, follow these steps:
Download rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem. The download should be saved in a location you can later easily point to. Let's use like C:\rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem
On the command line, run the following commands:
C:\>gem install --local C:\rubygems-update-2.6.7.gem
C:\>update_rubygems --no-ri --no-rdoc
Run the following commands to uninstall rubygems-update:
C:\>gem uninstall rubygems-update -x
This should solve the problem.
I am using Authlogic-Connect for third party logins. After running appropriate migrations, Twitter/Google/yahoo logins seem to work fine but the facebook login throws exception:
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed
The dev log shows
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed):
app/controllers/users_controller.rb:37:in `update'
Please suggest..
I ran into a similar problem when trying to use the JQuery generator for Rails 3
I solved it like this:
Get the CURL Certificate Authority (CA) bundle. You can do this with:
sudo port install curl-ca-bundle [if you are using MacPorts]
or just pull it down directly wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
Execute the ruby code that is trying to verify the SSL certification: SSL_CERT_FILE=/opt/local/etc/certs/cacert.pem rails generate jquery:install. In your case, you want to either set this as an environment variable somewhere the server picks it up or add something like ENV['SSL_CERT_FILE'] = /path/to/your/new/cacert.pem in your environment.rb file.
You can also just install the CA files (I haven't tried this) to the OS -- there are lengthy instructions here -- this should work in a similar fashion, but I have not tried this personally.
Basically, the issue you are hitting is that some web service is responding with a certificate signed against a CA that OpenSSL cannot verify.
If you're using RVM on OS X, you probably need to run this:
rvm osx-ssl-certs update all
More information here: http://rvm.io/support/fixing-broken-ssl-certificates
And here is the full explanation: https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/blob/master/help/osx-ssl-certs.md
Update
On Ruby 2.2, you may have to reinstall Ruby from source to fix this. Here's how (replace 2.2.3 with your Ruby version):
rvm reinstall 2.2.3 --disable-binary

Excerpt:
The Manual Way (Boring)
Download the cacert.pem file from http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem. Save this file to C:\RailsInstaller\cacert.pem.
Now make ruby aware of your certificate authority bundle by setting SSL_CERT_FILE. To set this in your current command prompt session, type:
set SSL_CERT_FILE=C:\RailsInstaller\cacert.pem
To make this a permanent setting, add this in your control panel.
Ruby can't find any root certificates to trust.
Take a look at this blog post for a solution: "Ruby 1.9 and the SSL error".
The solution is to install the curl-ca-bundle port which contains the same root certificates used by Firefox:
sudo port install curl-ca-bundle
and tell your https object to use it:
https.ca_file = '/opt/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt'
Note that if you want your code to run on Ubuntu, you need to set the ca_path attribute instead, with the default certificates location /etc/ssl/certs.
The reason that you get this error on OSX is the rvm-installed ruby.
If you run into this issue on OSX you can find a really broad explanation of it in this blog post:
http://toadle.me/2015/04/16/fixing-failing-ssl-verification-with-rvm.html
The short version is that, for some versions of Ruby, RVM downloads pre-compiled binaries, which look for certificates in the wrong location. By forcing RVM to download the source and compile on your own machine, you ensure that the configuration for the certificate location is correct.
The command to do this is:
rvm install 2.2.0 --disable-binary
if you already have the version in question, you can re-install it with:
rvm reinstall 2.2.0 --disable-binary
(obviously, substitute your ruby version as needed).
The issue is that ruby can not find a root certificate to trust. As of 1.9 ruby checks this. You will need to make sure that you have the curl certificate on your system in the form of a pem file. You will also need to make sure that the certificate is in the location that ruby expects it to be. You can get this certificate at...
http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
If your a RVM and OSX user then your certificate file location will vary based on what version of ruby your using. Setting the path explicitly with :ca_path is a BAD idea as your code will not be portable when it gets to production. There for you want to provide ruby with a certificate in the default location(and assume your dev ops guys know what they are doing). You can use dtruss to work out where the system is looking for the certificate file.
In my case the system was looking for the cert file in
/Users/stewart.matheson/.rvm/usr/ssl/cert.pem
however MACOSX system would expect a certificate in
/System/Library/OpenSSL/cert.pem
I copied the downloaded cert to this path and it worked. HTH
The new certified gem is designed to fix this:
https://github.com/stevegraham/certified
Just add gem 'certified' in your gemfile and run bundle install.
gem 'certified'
bundle install
On Mac OS X Lion with the latest macport:
sudo port install curl-ca-bundle
export SSL_CERT_FILE=/opt/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt
Then, rerun the failed job.
Note, the cert file location seems to have changed since Eric G answered on May 12.
Here's another option for debugging purposes.
Be sure never to use this in any production environment, as it will negate benefits of using SSL in the first place. It is only ever valid to do this in your local development environment.
require 'openssl'
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
A one liner fixes it for Windows in an Admin prompt
choco install wget (first see chocolatey.org)
wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -O C:\cacert.pem && setx /M SSL_CERT_FILE "C:\cacert.pem"
Or just do this:
gem sources -r https://rubygems.org/
gem sources -a http://rubygems.org/
Milanio's method:
gem sources -r https://rubygems.org
gem sources -a http://rubygems.org
gem update --system
gem sources -r http://rubygems.org
gem sources -a https://rubygems.org
gem install [NAME_OF_GEM]
Well this worked for me
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm reinstall 1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr
Something is wrong with openssl implementation of my ubuntu 12.04
While knowing it's rather a lame solution, I'm still sharing this because it seems like very few people answering here use Windows, and I think some of Windows users (me included) would appreciate a simple and intuitive approach.
require 'openssl'
puts OpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_FILE
That tells where your openssl is looking for the cert file. My name is not Luis, but mine was C:/Users/Luis/Code/luislavena/knap-build/var/knapsack/software/x86-windows/openssl/1.0.0l/ssl/cert.pem. The path may be different depending on each own environments (e.g. openknapsack instead of luislavena).
The path didn't change even after set SSL_CERT_FILE=C:\foo\bar\baz\cert.pem via the console, so... I created the directory C:\Users\Luis\Code\luislavena\knap-build\var\knapsack\software\x86-windows\openssl\1.0.0l\ssl in my local disk and put a cert file into it.
Lame as it is, this will surely work.
I've try install curl-ca-bundle with brew, but the package is no available more:
$ brew install curl-ca-bundle
Error: No available formula for curl-ca-bundle
Searching formulae...
Searching taps...
The solution that worked to me on Mac was:
$ cd /usr/local/etc/openssl/certs/
$ sudo curl -O http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
Add this line in your ~/.bash_profile (or ~/.zshrc for zsh):
export SSL_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/openssl/certs/cacert.pem
Then update your terminal:
$ source ~/.bash_profile
I had this same issue while working on a Ruby project. I am using Windows 7 64bit.
I resolved this by:
Downloading the cacert.pem file from http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem.
Saved that file to C:/RubyCertificates/cacert.pem
Then set my environmental variable "SSL_CERT_FILE" to "C:\RubyCertificates\cacert.pem"
source: https://gist.github.com/fnichol/867550
The most straightforward answer which worked for me was this
sudo apt-get install openssl ca-certificates
And voila!!!
OS X 10.8.x with Homebrew:
brew install curl-ca-bundle
brew list curl-ca-bundle
cp /usr/local/Cellar/curl-ca-bundle/1.87/share/ca-bundle.crt /usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem
Then, as this blog post suggests,
"How to Cure Net::HTTP’s Risky Default HTTPS Behavior"
you might want to install the always_verify_ssl_certificates gem that allow you to set a default value for ca_file.
This worked for me. If you using rvm and brew:
rvm remove 1.9.3
brew install openssl
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl`
I ran into this issue and the suggested fix of rvm osx-ssl-certs update all did not work despite that I am an RVM user on OSX.
The fix that worked for me was re-installing the latest version of openssl:
brew update
brew remove openssl
brew install openssl
I fixed this problem by running this in terminal. Full writeup is available over here
rvm install 2.2.0 --disable-binary
OSX solution:
install latest rvm stable version
rvm get stable
use rvm command to solve the certificates automatically
rvm osx-ssl-certs update all
If you are running your rails app locally then just add this line at the bottom of application.rb.
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
After this you can use the app without any issues. You may call it a hack but it is not recommended. Use only when you need to run locally
Here's what I did that helped if you are specifically having a problem on Leopard.
My cert was old and needed to be updated. I downloaded this:
http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
Then replaced my cert which was found here on Leopard:
/usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt
Reload whatever you have that's accessing it and you should be good to go!
Just because instructions were a slight bit different for what worked for me, I thought I add my 2 cents:
I'm on OS X Lion and using macports and rvm
I installed curl-ca-bundle:
sudo port install curl-ca-bundle
Then I adjusted my omniauth config to be this:
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
provider :google_oauth2, APP_CONFIG['CONSUMER_KEY'], APP_CONFIG['CONSUMER_SECRET'],
:scope => 'https://www.google.com/m8/feeds https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile',
:ssl => {:ca_path => "/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt"}
end
If you have a symbolic link in the /usr/local/etc/openssl pointing to cert.pem try to do this:
ruby -ropenssl -e "p OpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_FILE" (should be /usr/local/etc/openssl)
cd /usr/local/etc/openssl
wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
ln -s cacert.pem 77ee3751.0 (77ee3751.0 is my symbolic link, should depend on the openssl version)
What worked for me is a combination of answers, namely:
# Reinstall OpenSSL
brew update
brew remove openssl
brew install openssl
# Download CURL CA bundle
cd /usr/local/etc/openssl/certs
wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/c_rehash
# Reinstall Ruby from source
rvm reinstall 2.2.3 --disable-binary
I had trouble for a number of days and was hacking around. This link proved out to be extremely helpful for me. It helped me to do a successful upgrade of the SSL on MAC OS X 9.
Sometime it's not always rvm's problem
in MAC OSX,if you remove .rvm,the problem still(espcially while you backup data from timemachine) ,you can try this way.
1.brew update
2.brew install openssl
Adding gem 'certified', '~> 1.0' to my Gemfile and running bundle solved this issue for me.
I'm a beginner in Ruby, following "Creating a New Rails Project".
But I can't start the server. I tried:
running rails server but got:
Could not find gem 'tzinfo-data <>= 0> x86-mingw32' in the gems available on the machine.
Run 'bundle install' to install missing gems.
running bundle install but got:
An error occurred while installing rake (10.4.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that 'gem install rake -v '10.4.2'' succeeds before bundling.
gem 'tzinfo-data' but got:
Unknown command tzinfo-data
gem install tzinfo-data:
Could not find a valid gem 'tzinfo-data' <>= 0>, here is why:
Unable to download data from...
I have Windows 8.1. 64-bit
tzinfo-data was resolved with a cacert.pem file following the guide in the accepted answer. Today I am trying to install bootstrap-sass gem file. Do I need an another .pem file?
Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read
server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://rubygems.org/gems/boots
trap-sass-3.3.1.0.gem)
An error occurred while installing bootstrap-sass (3.3.1.0), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install bootstrap-sass -v '3.3.1.0'` succeeds before
bundling.
You have a common SSL issue.
You will see this error message:
certificate verify failed
The error message is because your system needs a new SSL certificate.
Here's information about it:
http://railsapps.github.io/openssl-certificate-verify-failed.html
On Windows:
Try upgrading your SSL certificates.
Download http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem.
Save this file anywhere you want, such as:
C:\RailsInstaller\cacert.pem
On the command line, tell Ruby where to find the cert file, such as:
set SSL_CERT_FILE=C:\RailsInstaller\cacert.pem
Retry the gem installation.
If it works, that's great. If you want this to work with every project on your system, and also survive rebooting, then you can make the cert file permanent by adding the cert system-wide. To do this, use your Windows control panel.

I am trying to run the gem command to install/update some gems, but due to some network restrictions in this area, I get this error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)
SSL_connect returned=6 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read finished A
(I think) this is mainly because of tampering with the SSL certificates.
Is there anyway to tell gem not to use SSL, to avoid the error?
Use HTTP instead of HTTPS if you are unable to solve the certs issue:
$ gem install rails --source http://rubygems.org
To avoid repeating this every time, either edit your ~/.gemrc or edit the file through the command line, like this:
$ gem sources --add http://rubygems.org
$ gem sources --remove https://rubygems.org
$ gem sources --list
*** CURRENT SOURCES ***
http://rubygems.org
Also, en every Gemfile you will need to change the first line from:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
To:
source 'http://rubygems.org'
Of course it would be much better if you manage to solve the certs issue as #p11y suggested on his comment.
The accepted answer didn't work for me. The following, however, did.
Edit .gemrc file
On Windows c:\Users\yourusername\.gemrc
Specifically %HOMEPATH% in the event your path is different.
Thanks goes out to #AaronChristiansen for pointing this out.
add:
:ssl_verify_mode: 0
It displayed the SSL errors but the install was successful.
