SSL error OJS 3.3.0.12

Hi all

We run into this SSL error when navigating to “Settings” → “Journal” in the backend. Browser generates a 500 error. The rest in the backend seems to work. We’ve got problems to resolve it. Thanks for help.

Hi @trace

This is probably related to a certificate package being out of date on your server. If you browse through this thread there are a number of suggested courses of action.
