Site I want to back up is a WordPress site on greengeeks.com https://tricountyrc.com

Locally on my windows 11 PC I have WAMP installed using php8.1.0

I updated akeeba backup for wordpress Public API Enabling public API and setting up a secret key

Using Akeeba Backup for WordPress Professional 8.1.1 (2023-11-15)

 

When I try to connect this is what I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access this resource.

Apache/2.4.51 (Win64) PHP/8.1.0 Server at localhost Port 80  I enter into browser: localhost/tcrc_backup/remote.phar%20=--action=test%20--h=https://www.tricountyrc.com%20--s=...

... is the secret key which I verified as being correct but do not want to show here to the whole world.

 

1. Am I following the right process?

2. Ideas on what is worng?

 

Thanks//

Remote CLI is a powerful command-line script which allows you to automate your backup management (including download backup archives) with Akeeba Backup for Joomla!, Akeeba Backup for WordPress, or Akeeba Solo. 

https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/arccli/ch01.html

The problem is that Remote CLI is meant to run through the command-line, not through the browser. You have misunderstood this bit, so everything that you tried to do from that point was understandably wrong.

Do you know what the command line is, and have you got a PHP interpreter in your PATH? If you have no idea what I just said, no shame at all, it just means that Remote CLI is not the right product for you. In this case tell me what you were trying to do so I can see if I can give you an alternative.
