Hi, I'm trying to use PureCN and I consistently get this error message:

Possible Ensembl SSL connectivity problems detected.
Please see the 'Connection Troubleshooting' section of the biomaRt vignette
vignette('accessing_ensembl', package = 'biomaRt')Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : 
  Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates: [uswest.ensembl.org] SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

I've tried changing the mirror by adding these lines to the PureCN source code:

ensembl <- useEnsembl(biomart = "ensembl", 
                   dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl", 
                   mirror = "www")

this doesn't work, it doesn't remove the warning message and all it does is it just keeps trying all mirrors and around half the time it returns this error and stops:

Error in bmRequest(request = request, verbose = verbose) : 
  Not Found (HTTP 404).
Calls: useEnsembl ... listMarts -> .listMarts -> bmRequest -> stop_for_status
Execution halted

It's a gamble if it works, I usually have 15 bam files I want to loop through and I keep having to redo about half of them. Is there a way to resolve this?

You're running a pretty old version of R and Bioconductor (it's from October 2020). Unfortunately the uswest mirror of Ensembl has been retired - you can try visiting http://uswest.ensembl.org/ to find a message about this. Newer versions of the biomaRt package have removed references to that mirror, but I can't go back and change the older ones.

My primary suggestion would be to update R and Bioconductor to newer versions. If you want to keep version you currently have, then maybe try mirror = "useast". I'm not sure why mirror = www is failing. That mirror certainly exists, although it does seem to be slow to respond today when I visit it in a browser.

Hi Mike, Thank you for the response. Updating the versions would be quite difficult as I'm working on a local server where I'm not the sole user of the programs, but it starts to seem it would be the only viable solution at this point.

I have tried all available mirrors, none of them seemed to work for some reason.

I just found this workaround:

httr::set_config(config(ssl_verifypeer = FALSE, ssl_verifyhost = FALSE))

at this Stack Overflow link.

Can this please be revisited and corrected ASAP? I'm encountering the same issue, using a slightly more modern version of R (4.1.0). It started happening right at November 1, which leads me to believe that Ensembl just needs to renew an SSL certificate on one of the servers (specifically, https://oct2022.archive.ensembl.org). Thanks!

Here's the call that is giving me trouble:

ensembl = useEnsembl(biomart="ensembl", dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl", version = "108")

And the error message thrown:

Possible SSL connectivity problems detected.
Please report this issue at https://github.com/grimbough/biomaRt/issues
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) :
SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
