cURL error 28: SSL connection timeout

I'm trying to register my theme and I keep getting: cURL error 28: SSL connection timeout

Comments

  • From my server tech:

    I have went ahead and tested on my end. Where in the meantime I followed the logs the process generates.

    None of the output has registered internal errors however, rather than the obvious 'cURL error 28: SSL connection timeout' that comes up on the theme's screen. This suggest that the server that needs to verify the IP is timing out.

    On our end here, we performed a flush on the DNS cache, which forces the DNS server to discard all cached DNS records, ensuring that subsequent DNS queries are resolved afresh. And afterwards reinstalled your SSL, just to be sure. Though, I am using this opportunity to confirm that, the error reading 'SSL', does not refer to your domain's SSL.

    Having that in mind, I found what appears to be the API that is supposed to verify, and testing from your server, it connected without any issues:

    [email protected]:~$ telnet api.muffingroup.com 80
    Trying 49.12.114.118...
    Connected to api.muffingroup.com.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    
    [email protected]:~$ telnet 49.12.114.118 80
    Trying 49.12.114.118...
    Connected to 49.12.114.118.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    

    So that is not a network issue, but a timeout. And that timeout seems to come from the external server that is verifying your key. That is why I suggest contacting the BeTheme support, and inquiring about the error. You may let them know of the DNS flush we conducted and all the checks we made here.

  • Sorry just in case. I see an error on the BeTheme Dashboard that says:

    Your server is blocking connection to API server api.muffingroup.com. Please contact your hosting provider.

    When I click 'Debug information' it goes to a page that says:

    WP_Error Object ( [errors] => Array ( [http_request_failed] => Array ( [0] => cURL error 28: SSL connection timeout ) ) [error_data] => Array ( ) [additional_data:protected] => Array ( ) )

  • Hi,

    You can see that this issue is about connection timeout, and the problem is not theme-related. It is all about the hosting provider. He should already recognize and amend this issue by looking at the error message.

    Please read these related links:

    This is not a new issue. Many users have this problem, and it always gets fixed with the help of the hosting provider. We assure you that the problem is not on our side.

    In this case, just as the information says, you should get in touch with your hosting provider.


    Thanks
