Ssl – OpenSSL error 20: unable to get local issuer certificate

centos5opensslssl

I'm trying to get a Network Solutions SSL to work and I'm not having much luck.

openssl verify gives me error 20 unable to get local issuer certificate

I've followed the directions here and here and copied the crt file and the Apache_Plesk_Install.txt file to the certs directory and I put the private key in the private directory. I've verified in openssl.cnf that I put the files in the proper directories.

I followed Nick Burch's guide to installing CA Certificates and have had no luck in resolving the issue.

If anyone can give me any ideas of what's going on, I would definitely appreciate it.

Platform
CentOS 5.7
OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5

The problem was in my ssl.conf file in Apache. It was overriding the VirtualHost settings for the domain in httpd.conf, so I moved my VirtualHost settings into ssl.conf ahead of the default:443 VirtualHost entry. Doing this resolved my issue.

Thanks again to Shane Madden for all of the help on this issue.
