SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

The reason that you get this error on OSX is the rvm-installed ruby.

If you run into this issue on OSX you can find a really broad explanation of it in this blog post:

The short version is that, for some versions of Ruby, RVM downloads pre-compiled binaries, which look for certificates in the wrong location. By forcing RVM to download the source and compile on your own machine, you ensure that the configuration for the certificate location is correct.

The command to do this is:

rvm install 2.2.0 --disable-binary

if you already have the version in question, you can re-install it with:

rvm reinstall 2.2.0 --disable-binary

(obviously, substitute your ruby version as needed).

Here's another option for debugging purposes.

**Be sure never to use this in any production environment, as it will negate benefits of using SSL in the first place. It is only ever valid to do this in your local development environment.**

require 'openssl'
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

I fixed this problem by running this in terminal. Full writeup is available over [here][1]

rvm install 2.2.0 --disable-binary

If you're using RVM on OS X, you probably need to run this:

rvm osx-ssl-certs update all

## Update ##
On Ruby 2.2, you may have to reinstall Ruby from source to fix this. Here's how (replace `2.2.3` with your Ruby version):

rvm reinstall 2.2.3 --disable-binary

Sometime it's **not always rvm's problem**
in MAC OSX,if you remove .rvm,the problem still(espcially while you backup data from timemachine) ,you can try this way.

1.brew update
2.brew install openssl

Adding `gem 'certified', '~> 1.0'` to my `Gemfile` and running `bundle` solved this issue for me.

Installing the following package on Ubuntu fixed the issue for me

``` sudo apt-get install libssl-dev ```

Just add gem 'certified' in your gemfile and run bundle install.

1. gem '**certified**'
2. bundle install

Add this to your gemfile:

`gem 'cliver', :git => 'git://github.com/yaauie/cliver', :ref => '5617ce'
`

If you are running your rails app locally then just add this line at the bottom of application.rb.

OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

After this you can use the app without any issues. You may call it a hack but it is not recommended. Use only when you need to run locally
