Description of my issue:
Hi
I'm making frontend backup using crons for teaterhotellet.dk, but I get this error on every run:

ERROR: cannot verify teaterhotellet.dk's certificate, issued by `/C=US/O=GeoTrust Inc./CN=RapidSSL SHA256 CA':
Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.
To connect to teaterhotellet.dk insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate

I have SSL on several sites and they backup without this error.
It works with '--no-check-certificate', but I'd rather get it to work the right way.

The SSL certifikates are all from the same provider GeoTrust.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Thanks!

You need to contact your host. This message comes from OpenSSL installed on your host's server and used by wget. They need to update their system-wide certificate authority cache to have the RapidSSL SHA256 CA signing root in it. There is nothing you or us can do about it. This is something that has to be done at the server level by your host.
