ApnsPHP can't connect to Apple Gateway

Question

suddenly a really strange error appeared today, saying that it isn't able to connect to the appropriate gateway...any fix suggestions?

Here's the logger output:

Answer 1

This solution worked for me. The original answer is on Push notifications server implementation -

I have found a solution, I don't know if it's the best, but it works. On Abstract.php (this file is part of the apns-php source) I have commented the line 343. Now it looks like this:

$streamContext = stream_context_create(array('ssl' => array(
//'verify_peer' => isset($this->_sRootCertificationAuthorityFile),
'cafile' => $this->_sRootCertificationAuthorityFile,
'local_cert' => $this->_sProviderCertificateFile
)));

I really don't know what is the point of this line, but know the push notification is working properly.
