CURL ERROR: 28::SSL connection timeout

Hey guys,

My website is getting this error "CURL ERROR: 28::SSL connection timeout" when a customer finish inputing their credit card information and checks out.

Is there a patch/update to fix this? What can I do?

It's not OpenCart error, it's a CURL error. Copy the error message in Google and look for solution.

Yeah I tried that, couldn't find an answer.

It's telling you that the CURL configuration on your server doesn't support SSL, meaning that the server administrator didn't compile the CURL support with OpenSSL.
This means that your store won't be able to do secure background communications.

try ssl verify set to

false

in your catalog payment controller file. I'm not sure can this help but anyway you can try.

Send this error to your web host in a support ticket and they should be able to enable it.

Quite of strange that I was able to find a possible solution within a few minutes of search: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/ ... liseconds/

This issue can be caused by traffic overload (too long time awaiting before being able to connect to the API server), the remote server can be unintentionally / intentionally shut down,

or can be due to firewall or local server settings issue caused by recent upgrades / changes - according to this post:

Ok, I’ve added your server IP to my firewall whitelist. Any change?

If not, it’s likely something in your server config as it wouldn’t be my firewall and there’s no other reports of issues coming in.

Paulfreakins would be right. Contacting your host knowing if there were recent changes made to the server in order to prevent API connections to specific hosts may be the best approach.
