certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate

This error occurs when a secure connection (such as HTTPS) is attempted but the server's SSL/TLS certificate cannot be verified by the client's system. This can happen when the server's certificate is not signed by a trusted certificate authority, or if the client's system does not have the necessary root or intermediate certificates to verify the chain of trust.

To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:

1. Verify that the server's certificate is valid and signed by a trusted certificate authority.
2. Make sure that the client's system has the necessary root and intermediate certificates installed to verify the chain of trust.
3. Check if there are any firewalls, proxies or security software that may be interfering with the SSL/TLS connection.
4. Try accessing the website or server from a different network or device to see if the issue persists.
5. If the problem persists, contact the website or server administrator for assistance.
