Hello

My name is Jean-Marie (France).
I have the same problem

- I have nothing in the mail texbox.
- The version of core Akeeba Backup is '3.2 (2011-01-31)'
- The version of plg remote control is 'Akeeba Remoting XMLRPC services for Akeeba Backup 3.1 (july 2010)'
- The Web Services is 'ON' on my site (general configuration of Joomla)

- Joomla is '1.5.22'
- Operating System S is 'Vista 32 bits pack 2"

The backup is OK with the backend of Joomla (administration of Akeeba Backup).
The error message with Akeeba Remote controle : Error XML-RPC : Invalid payload received from xml-rpc server

My test is on my WEB Server, directly
I don't know what to do !
Thanks a lot
(sorry for my english...)
Jean-Marie

Thank you myrtus but i don't use the mail textbox.

I don't mean the email textbox. I mean the option over the textbox. Deaktivate this option "send email after backup". If you get no email, the remote control works.

Hello Myrtus

Yesterday morning, i had activated my email checkbox and had wrote my email in the email textbox. It was not OK...
Yesterday afternoon, i have desactivated the email checkbox and deleted my email in the email textbox. It is no OK...
It' for me the same error message, with ot without email !
:-(

Today, it's possible to execute Akeeba backup with the backend, but not with remote control.
Maybe it's my configuration : Apache ? PHP ? Bug in this version of Akeeba ? in XML-RPC plugin ? ...
I'm using Wamp server (Apache version 2.2.17, Php version 5.3.5)

i'm searching lots of hours here in this forum, with Internet, ... , no solution at this time.
Why it's OK for you, for some people and not for me... What is the difference in my cnfiguration... This is the question ;-)

Joomla!'s XML-RPC service is broken on your server. Trying to do anything with it (including request a list of available methods) results in an Internal Server Error 500. This is usually caused due to a very badly written Joomla! system, user or authentication plugin. You can try disabling system plugins (carefully, one at a time) until you find which one causes this problem.

You can try using Akeeba Remote Control 4.0.5 with that server. The new version does not use the XML-RPC service but it's still in alpha. If you use it and discover any bugs, just post back.

Hello
I try with another site and... IT'S GOOD !
No error message with Remore Control.

So, my website is broken (Plugin ? Composant ?)
Now, I'm searching for the problem on my Website.

For me, the Topix can be closed.
Thanks a lot Nicholas, you are very good for ideas, to write explications and you are responding very quick !

I think that one of your system, user or authentication plugins are breaking Joomla!'s XML-RPC interface. The truth is that many developers completely ignore the XML-RPC interface and accidentally break it with the code they're writing. Of course, nobody notices because the only usable software which still uses the XML-RPC interface is Akeeba Remote Control 2.5.

Yes... Developers are not allways good... :-(

I try disabling system plugins on at a time ==> Same Error
I try disabling all plugins ==> Same Error

Now, i think i have no possibility : I must create a new Jomla site, re-install all extensions, and copy all menus/articles from my old site (with the error message) to my new site...
It's long... very long to do... :-(
If i do this, i would like to have a new site with Joomla 1.6 (the new version), but there is an incompatibility with Akeeba Backup at this time i think...

Can i have another possibility ?

Well, Akeeba Backup was the first extension ever to officialy support Joomla! 1.6 so, no, there is no compatibility issue I am aware of. However, I'd recommend against using Joomla! 1.6 for many reasons. One of them is that it won't solve your problem. Joomla! 1.6 completely lacks the XML-RPC layer (it was removed) so there's no chance to see ARC 2.5 work with it. The only way is to use ARC 4 which no longer uses the XML-RPC protocol.

Now, back to the problem with your site. Try removing the xmlrpc directory. Download a fresh Joomla! full installation package and extract it. Upload the xmlrpc directory to your site. Does this work?

Hello
I try to copy a new xmlrpc directory from a new Joomla 1.5 installation.
The error was the same...

But ! I found now the problem !
In my configuration of Remote Control, the port number was "1" and not "80".

Now... no more messages... IT'S GOOD !
Thank's for your help Nicholas.
