 > SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
 error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify
 failed

 I have tracked down this issue by re-creating the environment. It seems
 that OpenSSL/0.9.8i (at least, I haven't tested other 0.9.8 builds yet)
 can't handle the 'EE Certification Centre Root CA' certificate (It's the
 last certificate in ca-bundle.crt, and the latest addition). It's not
 specific to the newly bundled file though, my testbed system also has that
 cert in the chain and it also fails with the system certs.

 I'm not entirely sure what's causing the issue with that certificate, all
 I can say is if it's present, things break on PHP 5.2 (and some PHP 5.3's
 it looks like).
