XF 2.2 Push notification error 59

[DaveL]

Good evening,
I seem to be getting quite a lot of these errors. I've had a good search of the forum, but not having much joy.
Any help greatly appreciated.

    ErrorException: Push notification failure: cURL error 59: failed setting cipher list: ALL:!EXPORT:!EXPORT40:!EXPORT56:!aNULL:!LOW:!RC4:@STRENGTH (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) src/XF/Error.php:77

That's probably just going to be an old version of cURL on your server that doesn't support a newer SSL cipher that the push server is requiring. For example it's fairly common for servers to require TLS 1.2 or higher, but if you have an old version of cURL/OpenSSL that doesn't support 1.2, you have a problem.

Check the version of cURL/OpenSSL you have on your server and I bet it's fairly old. The easy solution would be to update it on your server.

Thanks @digitalpoint
I've checked and installed on the server is cURL 7.85.0, so does look like an older version.

The bigger issue is going to be the version of OpenSSL it’s compiled with/using. Using an old version of cURL will be fine, but an old version of SSL libs will cause the error you saw.

Seems like OpenSSL has now been updated and all the errors gone!
Thank you

Is OpenSSL/1.1.1w and old version?

Is OpenSSL/1.1.1w and old version?

Yes, support for it was completed in Sept 2023.
