Certificate problem with Payflow pro e-commerce solution

"The certificate chain did not validate, no local certificate found"
Question:
I installed Payflow Pro on a new machine which we will be using for e-commerce. I have an installation on a development machine already and just moved the relevant perl scripts to the new box.Payflow pro was installed (copied files to /usr/local/verisign and the binary to /usr/sbin )
and the digital certificate is installed as well. The apache web server has mod_ssl installed and everything is nice.
But when we make a test purchase, payflow pro complains
"The certificate chain did not validate, no local certificate found"
Answer:
Look at your script from where you call the payflow binary. In the case of perl you will have a statement like this:$ENV{PFPRO_CERT_PATH} .= "/var/www/cgi-bin/certs";
This adds the specified directory to your environment variable PFPRO_CERT_PATH.
- make sure that this folder actually exists.
- the code shown above - which is how the sample script provided by Verisign looks like - appends the folder to the existing path. In one case that existing path was not empty. There should be : between entries or the path should simply be assigned by
$ENV{PFPRO_CERT_PATH} = "/var/www/cgi-bin/certs";
(replace .= with =)
