Error 403 when trying to make a backup with Webcron with bad words filtering enabled in admin tools. This applies to the scheduler as well. What has Bad Words Filtering to do with Akeebabackup?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

are you sure the secret key is the correct one? I can see a suspicious pattern "srC", that's usually used to test for some vulnerabilities

Hello,

thank you for the quick reply. Yes, I'm entirely sure. The same effect after a complete change of the password.

Hi,

the reason for the problem was a "$" in the bad words as well in the secret password. Problem solved.


Thanks,
Werner
