Connect Manager fails to download with SSL handshake error

Question

Today, my Magento Downloader won't work. It worked for installing extensions previously, but today I get: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure. It seems the issue is on Magento Connect, but I don't see other reports of the issue.

Magento 1.9.1

Answer 1

If you have received a version of the: error: 14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure! error while trying to install a Magento Connect extension, it's because Magento turned off SSLv# on Magento Connect, but curl is still trying to connect with SSLv3.

Here is a solution and a patch file I came up with a few days ago. I wrote a post about it on our blog and explaining how to patch it: https://www.dwdonline.com/blog/fix-magento-error14077410ssl-routinesssl23_get_server_hellosslv3-alert-handshake-failure.html

Answer 2

I have the same problem, for a temporary solution: you can download the source files directly off of MagentoConnect using this tool:

http://freegento.com/ddl-magento-extension.php

and then upload them manually!

Answer 3

Same problem here, everything is fine on the my development site installed locally (running on MAMP) but nothing on the live website (centos w/cpanel & whm)

here is the apache config

• SSLv2 Disabled
• SSLv3 Disabled
• TLS 1 Enabled
• TLS 1.1 Enabled
• TLS 1.2 Enabled
