I am trying to authenticate users with Facebook using OmniAuth. Initially, it was working, but along the way it just stopped working and started to give me this error message:

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

The same code works well for Twitter and I can't seem to understand why it doesn't work for Facebook. I have looked online for help, but I haven't been successful.

This is the link to the website I am building: http://www.bestizz.com/
And this url would give you the error message: http://www.bestizz.com/auth/facebook

Ruby cannot find any root certificates. Here is an option for debugging purposes. Put following code at the begining of your script:

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