Sendy 'Error communicating with Amazon SNS API: There was a problem executing this request'

Question

I am getting the error 'Error communicating with Amazon SNS API: There was a problem executing this request' Anyone who has used Sendy and experienced the same error?

Answer 1

I had the same error and after looking into it there was a certificate issue. CURL was returning the error "SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" but this wasn't being returned within the UI.

I then followed these instructions for getting it working: curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

To see if you have the same error as me you can modify the sendy code slightly to output this error: within /includes/helpers/sns.php, line 463 output the curl error i.e. add the third line below:

   $output = curl_exec($ch);
   $info = curl_getinfo($ch);
   print curl_error($ch);

reload the page, it won't be pretty, but if it's the same error as me you'll be able to fix it.
