Hi Overthere,

I've got a few sites where I upgraded 7.9.2 to 8.0.0.2 and manually re-added the front-end credentials and plans after these were removed by the update.

I now would ftp-upload as advised on https://www.akeeba.com/news/1762-abwp-810-is-manual-update.html

Is there anything special to consider? The plans and settings are safe?

Thx in advance

Ralf

Good Morning Davide,

have followed up so far. All of my sites except one are running ok.

On that peculiar site I'm getting http 403 when trying to run the remote crons which ran without probs prior to the upgrade. Manually is working without probs.

I already checked kinks from htaccess and stripped it back to wp-only but to no avail. Hoster ist IONOS

Do you have any idea on this?

The cron is this: wget --max-redirect=10000 "https://www.<domain>.de/wp-content/plugins/akeebabackupwp/app/remote.php?view=remote&key=<secretkey>&profile=4" -O - 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/nullยด

And I get this in powershell when running it from there:

wget -maximumredirection 10000 "https://www.<domain>.de/wp-content/plugins/akeebabackupwp/app/remote.php?view=remote&key=<secretkey>&profile=4"

Hello,

can you please double check that the URL is correct by taking a look into the Scheduling Information page? I can see you're calling the file app/remote.php , but that file has been removed some time ago.

Please use the provided command and try again, I think it should fix your issue.

Hi Davide,

that was exactly the problem. Have changed the call to admin.ajax and it's working again. Strangely though it ran one time and when trying again I got an http500 in Powershell and an "Invalid AJAX data: null" error in AB. But maybe that's got sth to do with IONOS and their wild hosting-limitations. Will check back tomorrow if it isn't solved.

Thx again and have a great time ๐Ÿ‘‹
