Curl Certificate Error when Using RVM to install Ruby 1.9.2

Question

RVM is running into a certificate error when trying to download Ruby 1.9.2. It looks like curl is having a certificate issue but I am not sure how to bypass it

Answer 1

You need to download the ca certificate from http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and add them to your curl-ca-bundle-new.crt file.

To find the location of this file use:

   $ curl-config --ca

   /usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt

Backup your curl-ca-bundle.crt file:

$ cp /usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt /usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt.old

Then you want to concatenate the two file using:

$ cat cacert.pem /usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt >> curl-ca-bundle-new.crt
