I can't bring automatic backups via cronjob to work and receive ervery time a error code 255, but I think that have something to do with the provider. This provider cannot help me anymore, so may be the following output gives you a hint. It seems there is a problem with the path. What do you think?

Hello Steffen,

that's not an error: Akeeba Backup outputs the calculated site paths during the script.
This is the whole log available?
Can you please double check if you have any error in your error log?
Can you please try to launch it again, using the debug mode? You simply have to append --debug=1 to the CRON command.

Hello Davide, thank you for your support. Unfortunatly we have no access to the server error logs (is a managed server). Everthing I get is the log above, even with --debug=1. So, more ideas?

Loud thinking: APATH_BASE

/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/akeebabackupwp/app


is not the physical path on server, it's the puplic html folder. The cronjob is

php_cli /home/www/xxxxxx/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/akeebabackupwp/app/cli/backup.php --profile=1 --debug=1


Maybe Akeeba take the wrong path.

The APATH_BASE constant should return the absolute path, the same you are putting in the CRON command.
You should talk with your host about this issue, since I suspect your CLI process is inside a chroot "jail".
