App Store crashing immediately on launch

I ran the 10.6.7 combo update this evening and after the update, I can no longer open the App Store. It immediately crashes on launch. Any suggestions on a fix?

MBP 2.4 GHz/4GB, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

I hadn't been out to the Mac App Store for quite a while and could not get it open this evening. It would hang at launch and removing all the suggested plist and cookie files in this and other articles was no help. I remembered that I had turned on OCSB/CRL in Keychain Access a few days ago at the suggestion of another article I read. Turning them back off fixed my App Store problem so I wanted to let the community know that that seems to be the way to go.

You are a GOD! All praise to Localboy56!!

i don't know why, some security suggestion from way back i guess, but both of those prefs in keychain were set to REQUIRE FOR ALL CERTS. i changed them both to BEST ATTEMPT and require both and appstore works!!


curiously, the REQUIRE FOR ALL CERTS and REQUIRE IF CERTS INDICATES are now greyed out? anyone know why?

i'm now a but concerned that i've lowered the security on my mac.


but first i'm going to reinstall audio hijack pro, little snitch and cleanapp...


woo hoo!!
