Hi Nicholas,

After using Remote CLI succesfully for quite some time on quite a few websites, I now run into a problem I'm not able to fix. As the ticket title indicates, I get the following error when running Remote CLI: 'Error #101: Error 500 - JSON decoding error'.

As far as I can tell, I use the same settings as for all the other jobs I have running on a daily basis. The main difference with the other sites, is SSL support. Could that be the culprit and if so, is there a way to make it work?

Thanks in advance for the reply.

Regards,

Pieter-Jan de Vries

It could be. On the system you are using to launch Remote CLI you have to make sure that you have the PHP cURL extension installed and enabled and that it's compiled with OpenSSL support (it is NOT sufficient to have the OpenSSL library installed, you have to make sure that the cURL extension is also compiled with OpenSSL support).

Thanx for the swift reply.

The problem was not the SSL itself, but the fact that I didn't adjust the protocol part of the --host parameter. Changing it into https solved the problem.

So it seems I needlessly used up some of your precious time once again. I humbly apologize.

Kind regards and happy holidays,
