Description of my issue:

Hi Nicholas,

1. Download backup file from Amazon S3 to restore backup fails :

I tried to restore a backup using the feature to download the backup file from Amazon S3. The backup itself is automated using Webcron.org and works fine (uploading the backup file to Amazon S3 is succesfull). But when I enter the Amazon S3 access credentials (triple verified) and want to connect to the Amazon S3 server I receive the following error message :

S3::listBuckets(): [60] SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

There is a problem with the ssl connection to the Amazon S3 server. Credentials are correct.

2. Error on homepage (Joomla 3.0.1) and white page on Backend :

I noticed that I still get the error (already posted by another user :ticket #13816) when there is a new version available. Removing the plugins/system/akeebaupdatecheck directory solves the problem but I suppose this shouldn't happen every time there is an update notification. On this particular site the extensions Akeeba Backup Pro v3.6.6 and Akeeba Admin Tools Pro v2.4.0 were installed. Installing the update for Akeeba Backup using the update button in Akeeba Backup Pro cpanel worked fine, trying to update the Akeeba Admin Tools Pro using the update button in Akeeba Admin Tools Pro cpanel didn't work (blanc screen after a few seconds and no activity after that). I had to install the update using the joomla extension installer, which worked fine.

Chris

1. Your server has a problem verifying SSL certificates. This happens when your server lacks a system-wide cacerts.pem accessible to PHP's cURL extension. The workaround is to upload a cacert.pem file in the same directory as kickstart.php. How to get that file:
- Download Akeeba Backup Professional from our site
- Extract the ZIP file
- You can find the cacert.pem file under the backend/akeeba/assets directory.
- Upload it to the same directory as kickstart.php
And now the import from S3 works.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you're using Akeeba Kickstart Professional 3.6.0.

2. This should be fixed in Admin Tools Pro 2.4.1 and Akeeba Backup Pro 3.6.6 or later. My guess? The white page came from Admin Tools Pro 2.4.0's update notification plugin.
