@Aaryan9898 Did you solve the problem, and if so, would you mind sharing the solution? Thanks in advance.

[r3dpars3c]

Yes the following worked for me
Just Uncomment the following line putting # in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
[default_conf]
#ssl_conf = ssl_sect

[x-yuri]

In my case, the line was not commented out. What helped me is:

$ OPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl phantomjs --version

Debian 10, PhantomJS 2.1.1.

I am having the same issue. None of those things worked for me :(

[JanTrotnow]

Just had the same issue a few moments ago. Using OPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl fixed it for me.

I wonder what is causing this as I didn't update any specific packages. Do you have any idea?

[benz0li]

Most probably related to openssl-1.1.1: See https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/TriagingTips/openssl-1.1.1 for more information.

On Debian, the problem occurs with versions >= 10 (buster). On Ubuntu LTS with versions >= 20.04. #15449 (comment) should work.

[x-yuri]

@JanTrotnow Didn't update any npm packages? OS packages? What operating system? Do you have unattended-upgrades installed?

[func0der]

The issue should be re-opened until we undertand it and find out, who is responsible for fixing it.

Please re-open

[xtaraim]

it works !

OPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl phantomjs --version

[MincoMK]

export OPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl

[joshheinrichs-shopify]

As far as I can tell, the only reason the above suggestion works is because you're supposed to point OPENSSL_CONF at a config file, not a directory. The above is effectively equivalent to OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null.

[x-yuri]

Now that would be funny. From what I can see I found the solution here.

[MostHated]

Strange, doing either: export OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null; phantomjs --version or OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null phantomjs --version , etc (or actually setting export OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null in my profile exports) does not work for me in zsh, but if I open powershell and do $env:OPENSSL_CONF="/etc/ssl"; phantomjs --version, that does work.

[x-yuri]

Depending on your OS, you might want to try it with strace.

Yes the following worked for me Just Uncomment the following line putting # in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf [default_conf] #ssl_conf = ssl_sect

I'm using Ubuntu LTS 20.04. I don't know where this configuration is found/done to solve it. Could someone point me there? Is it when installing phantomjs from a terminal?

You can do the following. It will still work:

# download binary openssl packages from Impish builds
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl-dev_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb

# install downloaded binary packages
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl-dev_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i openssl_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb

Cheers!

@bdteo What makes them Impish? Looks Focalish to me:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/openssl (1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16)
https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/openssl (1.1.1l-1ubuntu1.6)

This works for me on Ubuntu 22.04
Thanks

[DemOnJR]

Just use

export OPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl/

Then again

phantomjs --version

Result

2.1.1
