Updraft stopped working with Amazon S3

    This problem has been mentioned here before but in my case I didn′t upgrade the plugin. In fact I use the plugin on all my sites on multiple hosting accounts and all my sites give now the same error message which indicates to me that there must be something wrong on the Amazon S3 server side and not with Updraft. But I have no idea what Amazon could have changed to make the auto backups fail now.

    A typical error message looks like this:
    updraft error message S3 settings test result: Failure: We could not successfully access or create such a bucket. Please check your access credentials, and if those are correct then try another bucket name (as another S3 user may already have taken your name). The error reported by s3 was: UpdraftPlus_S3::putBucket(all555, private, ): [60] SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

    P.s. yes I did try to create a new bucket without success.

    Hi,

    SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

    This message means that your local PHP install did not recognise the remote certificate upon trying to connect by SSL. i.e. It could not be validated as genuine.

    This can be only for one of two reasons:
    1) PHP was not given a sufficient list of root certificates to verify it with
    2) The remote certificate was not presented by the real Amazon S3

    Those in turn could be caused by a few things; e.g. your local list of certificates is out of date – that Amazon S3 has updated its certificate to one validated by a root more recent than your UD. That would be fixed by updating. That is an instance of 1). Another is that a proxy has been installed between your webserver and Amazon S3 that seeks to intercept traffic. i.e. a Man-in-the-Middle. That’s what SSL is meant to prevent.

    Either way, you should follow up further. SSL is intended to refuse to proceed if the certificate chain can’t be validated. It’s not a “problem” as such; it’s warning you that something’s unexpected in the line between your webserver and S3.

    Best wishes,

    Who is your hosting company, BTW? I’ve had one other report of a problem, and am trying to work out the common factor.

    Also, what are the curl and PHP versions shown in the Debugging/Expert tab?

    Hi,

    Thanks – no, the problem is at Amazon’s end.
