SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAINnpm

npm ERR! code SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN — request to https://registry.npmjs.org/ failed, reason: self signed certificate in certificate chain

A corporate proxy or antivirus is intercepting HTTPS, and npm doesn’t trust its certificate.

unable to get local issuer certificateSSL / TLS

OpenSSL: error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate / SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

The client could not build a chain from the server's certificate to a CA it trusts — the issuer is missing locally or the server…

SSLCertificateFile: file does not existSSL / TLS

Apache: AH02240: Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured / SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/ssl/x.crt' does not exist or is empty

Apache cannot find the certificate or key file named in its configuration, or `SSLEngine on` is set without any certificate.

incomplete certificate chainSSL / TLS

SSL Labs: Chain issues: Incomplete — Extra download (intermediate certificate missing)

The server sends only its own certificate and not the intermediate CA(s), so some clients cannot build a trusted chain.

AH01909: server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server nameSSL / TLS

Apache: [ssl:warn] AH01909: example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

Apache's SSL virtual host name does not match any name inside the certificate it loads.

Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)SSL / TLS

Let's Encrypt: Fetching http://example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/token: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)

The ACME validation server could not reach your server on port 80 within the timeout.

CAA record forbids issuanceSSL / TLS

Let's Encrypt/CA: CAA record for example.com prevents issuance

The domain's DNS CAA records do not list the certificate authority you asked, so the CA must refuse.

Two steps away (21)

407HTTP

HTTP 407 Proxy Authentication Required

A proxy between you and the server requires credentials before it will forward your request.

CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILEDAPI

SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED / unable to get local issuer certificate

The client couldn’t verify the server’s TLS certificate chain, so it refused the HTTPS connection.

Git SSL certificate problemGit

fatal: unable to access 'https://…': SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

Git doesn’t trust the HTTPS server’s certificate — corporate proxy, self-hosted Git with an internal CA, or outdated CA bundle.

ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTEDNode.js

Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

An old build tool (webpack 4, old react-scripts) uses a hash algorithm that OpenSSL 3 in Node 17+ disables.

no start lineSSL / TLS

OpenSSL: unable to load certificate / PEM routines:get_name:no start line (key values mismatch)

OpenSSL (or Nginx/Apache) couldn’t read the certificate or key — wrong file format, wrong file, or the key doesn’t match the cert…

HandshakeException: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILEDFlutter / Dart

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (Cloudflare)Cloudflare

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS with Cloudflare (Flexible SSL redirect loop)

The page redirects to itself forever — classic cause: Cloudflare SSL mode “Flexible” while the origin redirects HTTP to HTTPS.

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH (Cloudflare)Cloudflare

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH on a Cloudflare site (certificate not issued / multi-level subdomain)

Cloudflare has no edge certificate for the hostname — the Universal SSL cert is still pending, or the hostname is a second-level…

NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID with a Cloudflare Origin Certificate (record not proxied)

Cloudflare Origin CA certificates are only trusted by Cloudflare — visitors reaching the origin directly (grey-cloud record, dire…

ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALIDJavaScript

NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (Your connection is not private)

The site’s certificate isn’t signed by a CA the browser trusts — self-signed, missing intermediates, or intercepted by a proxy.

ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPENode.js

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined

A Node API got an argument of the wrong type — usually undefined because an env var or config value is missing.

ImproperlyConfiguredPython

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: settings are not configured / SECRET_KEY must not be empty

Django can’t load its settings — DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE unset, a required setting missing, or an environment variable not provide…

AH00558Nginx / Apache

Apache: AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name

A harmless startup warning: Apache has no global ServerName, so it guessed one from the host’s IP.

SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATESSL / TLS

Firefox: Peer's Certificate has expired. Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE

Firefox found an expired certificate in the chain presented by the server.

SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAINSSL / TLS

Firefox: Websites prove their identity via certificates — the certificate is only valid for other names. Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

The certificate does not include the hostname you typed.

Cloudflare Error 1020: Access Denied

A Cloudflare firewall/WAF custom rule blocked the request — the visitor’s IP, country, user agent or request pattern matched a bl…

ssh port 22 Connection timed outLinux

ssh: connect to host x port 22: Connection timed out

SSH packets get no reply — a firewall/security group drops them, the server is off, or the IP is wrong.

No route to hostLinux

connect: No route to host (EHOSTUNREACH)

The destination host isn’t reachable — it’s down, on another subnet without routing, or a firewall rejects with “host unreachable…

sudo: unable to resolve hostLinux

sudo: unable to resolve host <hostname>: Name or service not known

The machine’s hostname isn’t in /etc/hosts (or DNS), so sudo prints this warning — usually after changing the hostname.

Temporary failure in name resolutionLinux

ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

The Linux host can’t resolve domain names — no working DNS server is configured or reachable.
