 * Hello everyone,
 * I setup a wordpress site on an amzon ec2 instance (amazon linux). Everything 
   was working and I even installed the search and replace plug in. All of a sudden
   I get the following error when trying to install plugins:
 * An error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s
   configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.(
   WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact
   your server administrator.) in /var/www/html/wp-includes/update.php on line 306
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Hello stuff2600,
 * You are getting this error due the folder permission issue Please contact with
   your amzon ec2 support team only they can help you on this issue.
