Answer 1

For anyone pulling their hair out saying "I'VE DOWNLOADED A PRISTINE cacert.pem FILE, PUT IT IN THE CORRECT LOCATION, SET curl.cainfo CORRECTLY, AND RESTARTED MY APACHE SERVER BUT IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!?!?"... If you're using php-fpm then service apache2 restart and service apache2 reload will not update the reference and you'll continue to get error 60. If you intentionally point curl.cainfo to a bad path, you will not get the expected error 77 (first clue).

To restart php-fpm and update that reference (without rebooting the whole server), use service php-fpm restart or service php5-fpm restart or service php7-fpm restart or service php7.0-fpm restart, etc, depending on your php version. Hope this helps save someone time.
