Hi Robdog75,
For the plugin to work, we need to have one of the following available in PHP:
1. CURL extension with SSL support, this is most commonly available
2. allow_url_fopen php.ini enabled and openssl extension
3. fsockopen not disabled in php.ini and openssl extension
If you don’t have any of these (for example, if you don’t have CURL extension and don’t have openssl extension), you won’t be able to send data to our online vault.
Regards,
Jason
Hello Jason.
I have enabled the CURL extension along with the allow_url_open and activated the openssl.
Now I’m getting this error message, when I click connect in Online backup settings:
[Error Code http_request_failed] SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed.
Thanks.
Rob
Hi Robdog,
Root certificates that OpenSSL uses to verify the certificate are probably out of date. You may need to manually update the bundle.
This is likely to be most helpful to you:

Just need to look for your existing curl-ca-bundle.crt and replace it with the one from the haxx website which is FireFox’s set.

Hello Jason.
I think I will just leave it as I don’t fully understand what I am doing when it comes to messing around with servers. Plus I can’t find the curl-ca-bundle.crt that needs replacing.
Thanks.
Rob
No problem Robdog, perfectly understandable.

Do I only need access to the online vault if I wanted the back up online? Do I need to have access to the online vault for email and a downloadable backup? If not for the email and downloadable backup what is the maximum file size for it to be emailed to me please?
Thanks.
Hi Robdog,
Sure you can do downloadable and email without backing up online. When we release next version it will also allow local backups (although we still recommend at least an email to ensure the backup is taken OFF the server!)
The maximum size for email will depend on memory available to PHP on your server. As long as there is enough the limitation is usually how big an attachment your email can receive.
GMail and others limit attachments to 25MB (if I remember correctly) so even if the email sends, if it’s bigger than that it may not arrive if it’s rejected when it reaches the mailbox.

Jason
I may just go with the downloadable backup as I did a backup with a different plugin last week and had a lot of problems trying to restore it.It was 75MB in size which I know is too large for it to be sent to email, so will try a downloadble back up Hence me trying out the online backup plugin.
Thanks for your help Jason.
