Abyss update affecting PHP/OpenSSL CA certificates?

JMMotyer

Was anything changed in versions of Abyss Web Server over the past 6 months that could cause PHP/OpenSSL to no longer find or use its CA certificate store?

PHP cURL HTTPS checks worked correctly for many years, but over the past 6 months or so, stopped working with:

SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

This occurs with multiple PHP versions. If I manually specify a cacert.pem using curl.cainfo, the problem immediately disappears.

Could an Abyss update, over the past 6 months to a year, explain why the CA certificate location previously available to PHP/OpenSSL is no longer being found?

Currently running PHP 8.6.0beta1 on all my dozen or so X2 hosts , but when I temporarily change any Abyss host back to dozens of previous version of PHP, all the way back to 7.4.0, the same problem is happening. And again, this problem only started happening in the last 6 months to a year.

Thanks in advance.

John
