curl_exec error 60 SSL certificate problem

It seems paypal updated their certificate and that is causing the problem.

If Zen Cart actually used the PayPal SOAP SDK, that might be relevant. But, since it doesn't, it's not.

DrByte, I realize you have a lot more experience with Zen Cart. I was just trying to help offnetrob with what I figured out.

I administer a highly customized Zen Cart website that also started getting the "curl_exec error 60 SSL certificate problem".

I was able to fix the problem with the site I administer by copying the api_cert_chain.crt file from the latest sdk (as described in the previous link I posted) to this directory pear/Services/PayPal/cert/ for the site. After I did that, PayPal began working again properly.

This post on PayPal's blog also helped me:

Thanks for your clarification pointing specifically to the updated certificate chain.

Everything else in the SOAP SDK is irrelevant to Zen Cart, and pursuing attempts to figure out how to install the SOAP SDK into Zen Cart would be futile.
I just don't want people wasting time going down the wrong path and ending up back here more confused and with a mess of extra files scattered on their server not providing them any benefit and creating additional support demands.
