APNS + PHP “stream_socket_client(): Failed to enab

Question

I'm having trouble with using APNS with PHP and getting the following message:

stream_socket_client(): Failed to enable crypto

The problem only happens sometimes, and other times it would actually send the push.

Since I have the test script on a loop of 10 iterations, I would sometimes get this:

stream_socket_client(): SSL: Connection reset by peer

I'm testing using the sandbox server tls://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195

Here is what I tried:

• I tried to reissue the PEM and all certificates with it.
• I played around with the request protocol sslv3:// and tls://.
• I played around with the passphrase (push worked without the passphrase btw)
• I tried searching stackoverflow for a solution and nothing worked.
• Checked pem file permissions 644
• Checked pem parent directories permissions 755

It seems that all the solutions I found on Google and SO are people having problem pushing altogether.

I feel like the service is rate limited maybe? Because we waited a while (around 15 minutes) and then tried it again, and was able to successfully push around 100 messages until I started getting that message again.

Answer 1

I had this problem. Disappeared after giving write permission for 'everyone' for the .pem file.
