Unable to Knit HTML /PDF/Word in R Studio(Version 0.98.1103). Encountering “Execution Halted”

Question

1. I was working on R markdown documents in R studio, and I had knit the HTML, PDF and Word. It had worked fine.

2. Then when I tried to publish it online I encountered an error " Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) : SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate Calls: rpubsUpload ... -> .postForm -> .Call -> -> fun Execution halted"

To solve which I had found a solution at " https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/205002917-SSL-certificate-problem-when-publishing-to-RPubs " which suggested running the command file.edit('~/.Rprofile') within RStudio and inserting the following code: options(rpubs.upload.method = "internal" .

But after doing the above, I have not been able to knit any thing in R Studio. Every time I click Knit button I keep encountering

"Error: could not find function "file.edit" Execution halted"

How can I resolve this and get things to work?

Answer 1

I have finally found the solution. I simply found where my .Rprofile was and deleted it. It solved my problem.
