Description of my issue:
Backup to S3 works fine as long as it is initiated from either the Joomla backend or by manually running the CRON script. But when the CRON script is run automatically every morning, processing quits at the point of uploading the archive to Amazon.
Two virtually identical sites are on this server as subdomains, both running the same versions of all software, the same backup configuration and the same CRON script. One runs flawlessly while this one fails.
I've tried changing the time when the CRON runs because that is different for each of the CRON jobs. But that makes no difference.
I use Akeeba Backup Professional for 30+ sites, all backing up to Amazon S3. This connection error occurs randomly on other sites and I simply do a manual backup for that day. But for this subdomain on this server, the connection error occurs almost every day.
I haven't tried changing the bucket name. That possibility occurred to me because I have run into software bugs associated with certain combinations of letters. Possible here?
Thanks for your help! Akeeba Backup has made the setup and administration of Joomla sites routine instead of tortured and I greatly appreciate your work.
