Solutions to problems

SSL certificate error problem: certificate has expired

→ cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

On the hosting side, update ca-certificates (ca-certificates curl openssl command)
Sometimes a reboot of php on the server may also suffice - php may keep the old certificate in cache before changes.


The "Select Parcel Store" button does not work


The reason may be that the URL to the store is incorrectly specified when creating a token for Geowidget in Parcel Manager. When the URL is wrong the map will not open.


Geowidget - no access


When the shopping cart in Geowidget shows the error "No access, check if the token has been generated for the correct site" you need to re-generate the token for Geowidget in Parcel Manager but specifying the correct store site URL. The error is related to providing an incorrect store URL.
