I am using version 5.4.9 and I cant find a file with the name: "ca-bundle.crt".

???
Try Google. Here is the first thing I found for ca-bundle.crt : http://www.eklhad.net/linux/app/ssl-certs

One of the articles Google finds might help you.

smartpillie,

The Lawrence writing "???" suggests, that the "ca-bundle.crt" is maybe not part of the BOINC package u have obtained. Didactylos said to get an official install package, but who knows did Berkeley omit.

Internally the file he points to says its a public certificate......something u need to obtain from a place u can google to and put into the BOINC dir!

BTW, my BOINC directory has got the "ca-bundle.crt" file in it, so that's the key to fix!

so many things lost in translation, but u need to use the grey cells a little bit since linux is no childs stuff (personal opinion) ;>)

ciao

Okay, my apologies.

The 5.4.9 version doesn't include the certificate bundle. This is because that version of BOINC accepts self-signed certificates, so it doesn't need to validate the entire certificate chain for genuine certificates. Later builds (not released yet) don't accept self-signed certificates. The certificate bundle was omitted from some of these builds by accident, so genuine certificates couldn't be validated. Installing one of those alpha builds may cause the error we are seeing here.

Since wget is giving a certificate error, it is possible that you have some additional layer of security that prevents you from validating the certificate chain correctly. Possibly something is misconfigured somewhere.

I suggest you try installing the latest alpha build, which does include the certificate bundle. Download it using this link. Let us know what happens.

Which version?! Have you tried 5.5.16?

Your router should really not affect this at all, unless it is misconfigured.
