Today, my Magento Downloader won't work. It worked for installing extensions previously, but today I get: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure. It seems the issue is on Magento Connect, but I don't see other reports of the issue.

Magento 1.9.1

    Is your server still running sslv3? Do you have access to your own web server config? If so you can try disabling sslv3 and switching to tlsv1. Feb 19, 2015 at 23:09
  • I have the same problem ! With my magento 1.9.1 It was working before and I changed nothing on the server.

  • These comments may not be "answers", but they do point to a wider problem than just me. My dev setup worked just fine prior to yesterday, and then I was receiving this error. I will look at my server setup, per the suggestions, but that does not explain WHY it previously worked, then did not.

If you have received a version of the: error: 14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure! error while trying to install a Magento Connect extension, it's because Magento turned off SSLv# on Magento Connect, but curl is still trying to connect with SSLv3.

Here is a solution and a patch file I came up with a few days ago. I wrote a post about it on our blog and explaining how to patch it: https://www.dwdonline.com/blog/fix-magento-error14077410ssl-routinesssl23_get_server_hellosslv3-alert-handshake-failure.html

  • Glad it helped! It wouldn't let me post an answer earlier (had to get a higher reputation). Feb 23, 2015 at 19:29

I have the same problem, for a temporary solution: you can download the source files directly off of MagentoConnect using this tool:

http://freegento.com/ddl-magento-extension.php

and then upload them manually!

Same problem here, everything is fine on the my development site installed locally (running on MAMP) but nothing on the live website (centos w/cpanel & whm)

here is the apache config

  • SSLv2 Disabled
  • SSLv3 Disabled
  • TLS 1 Enabled
  • TLS 1.1 Enabled
  • TLS 1.2 Enabled
