GPM not reachable by plugins page in admin

[kmcital]

(related to issue )
My site has been fine, until I just upgraded to latest version of Grav and plugins. Then I got this exact same error.

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("GPM not reachable. Please check your internet connection or check the Grav site is reachable") in "partials/plugins-list.html.twig" at line 19

When I issue the command curl -I https://getgrav.org/downloads/plugins.json from the web server it comes back with

Also, with bin/gpm index I now get "No data was found in the GPM repository stored locally.". I've followed the permissions instructions on the "Cannot connect to the GPM" page.

This happened directly as a result of the upgrades I did.

In the System settings, try turning off "Remote Verify Peer (SSL)", does it change something? (gpm.verify_peer: false in system.yaml)

[kmcital]

That setting fixes the problem. I'm back in business, thanks @flaviocopes !!

As a point of clarity, I had only upgraded Grav, not the plugins yet when the error surfaced. Now I was able to update all plugins.

We're working on a fix for this. We're explicitly setting verify peer either true or false. Default is true (like it is default curl) However, we never set this value before, so I guess there are some systems that had the default setting of false. So we're not going to set this unless false is explicitly needed. Next release will have this fix.

Fixed in Grav 1.1.8
