(path? access rights?
CausePHP cURL uses an outdated set of root certificates to verify server certificates.
Resolution- Connect to the server via SSH
- Download the CA certificate store from the official cURL website and move it to the directory
/etc/ssl/certs/:
#wget https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem && mv cacert.pem /etc/ssl/certs/
- Add the following line into the end of the file :
curl.cainfo="/etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem"
- Restart the Plesk engine service via the following command:
#systemctl restart sw-engine
Once this is done, you should be able to see the What's New box without issues
