Solve problems

Channel Limit Problem

In Utopia, you can create a maximum of 10 channels. There is a way to solve this problem. You will need to create additional accounts on which you will create channels. Next, you add the bot account to these channels and give it moderator rights.

SSL problem

Get the correct directory for your certs to be placed by default with this

php -r "print_r(openssl_get_cert_locations()['default_cert_file']);"

Then use this to get the cert and put it in the default location found from the code above

wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -O <default location>

example:

wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -O /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem --no-check-certificate
