[FX.php List] cURL Error after El Capitan Update

[Bob Patin]

I’m planning to stay away from El Capitan on my servers until things settle down; I just put up a new server last week running Yosemite and FMS 14.0.4, and everything seems to be working great.

One gotcha for anyone planning to use FMS 14; their 14.0.4 updater breaks all the web services if you run the updater. There is a simple workaround though: download and install the 14.0.4 full installer, which works perfectly.

If anyone is wanting to install FMS 14.0.4, contact me back-channel for the installer link.

I should note that I have pointed my site code (running locally) at both my dev server and the client’s live server and the same error happens. I’m assuming I need to tweak a configuration variable somewhere in my local php settings.
