(Solved) Rails "read server certificate B: certificate verify failed"

I'm building a project using omniauth and devise that allows users to log-in with facebook. then i started to get the following error

Faraday::SSLError SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

: i have tried to reinstall ruby and get rails, the following error shows wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-update-2.0.3.gem

Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (>= 0), here is why: Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

then i run the following command

ruby -ropenssl -e 'p OpenSSL::OPENSSL_VERSION' "OpenSSL 1.0.1j 15 Oct 2014"

please help.
