I'm running MediaWiki 1.29.1 on FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE running mysql 5.6.38,
php 7.1.10 and python 2.7.14. The wiki is working fine.
I installed pywikibot using git clone. The ID is $Id:
03e22e8ea7bf53dc7c9d47b6d7ad98c3c7afabb4.
When I try to generate the family file, I get this error:
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
HTTPSConnectionPool(host='wiki.vvfh.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded
with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL
routines', 'ssl3_get_server_certificate', 'certificate verify
failed')],)",),))
It's strange, because the certs verify from the commandline and SSLLabs
says the site rates an A and the entire chain is found. I'm not sure why
python is failing the verification test.
I've been googling and trying to find a way to disable ssl verification,
but I haven't found it. The software is installed on the server the wiki
runs on, and I'm running it from the commandline, so not verifying SSL
isn't a big issue. (Only I have access to the server.)
