HTTPS support not compiled in

[nixgurus]

I am trying to install CodeGuard plugin on my cpanel based servers. On 2 of them I am getting following error while using following command,

wget -O cginstall.sh https://www.codeguard.com/partners/cpanel_plugin?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>

After running mentioned command I am getting following error on screen

[email protected] [~]# wget -O cginstall.sh http://www.codeguard.com/partners/cpanel_plugin?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>

How I can resolve this issue ?

Hello

You will need to ensure that "wget" on your system is compiled with SSL support.

Thank you.

Hello Michael,

Thanks for the update. I got wget preinstalled in operating system. How I can recompile it?


Thanks

May I have an update

Hello,

Couldn't you use curl to get these files?

curl --O cginstall.sh http://www.codeguard.com/partners/cpanel_plugin?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>

This should work. curl should always have https support as far as I'm aware. There are also a slew of reasons (cited at curl vs Wget) for using curl over wget.

Otherwise, you could try removing and reinstalling wget if it was installed via rpm:

rpm -qa | grep -i wget
rpm -e --nodeps wget
yum install wget

You'll likely have to comment out the exclude line in /etc/yum.conf file to install wget after removing it, then uncomment it again after that.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the help. My issue resolved by reinstalling wget. The problem was that script is going to get a lot of files from wget-ssl only. That's why I have to get wget working.
