Hi @Jaideraf, thanks for taking the time to report this! Unfortunately this Wikimedia Phabricator task lacks some information.
If you have time and can still reproduce the situation: Please add a more complete description to this task. That should be

  • a clear and complete list of exact steps to reproduce the situation, step by step, so that nobody needs to guess or interpret how you performed each step,
  • what happens after performing these steps to reproduce,
  • what you expected to happen instead.

Thanks!

Ok. Here is what I have done (a.k.a. steps to reproduce):

  1. In a fresh install, I have downloaded the tarball mediawiki-1.35.0-rc.2.tar.gz, extracted it, and installed as usual. I have PHP 7.4.9 and MySQL 5.6.48-88.0. Using Ubuntu 20.04, Google Chrome 84.0.4147.135.
  1. Actual Results: When I click Edit on the Main page, for example, I got the error message described, in a VE window box:
Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server: (curl error: 51) SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK

With the options "Cancel" and "Try again". You can see it happening here: https://new.wikincat.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page, just click on Edit.

Expected Results: I expect Parsoid/VisualEditor working out of the box.

I just cleaned the browser cookies and it is now working again. Maybe a note about that could be added somewhere on documentation...
Thanks.
