Can you turn on the Verbose logging option, try it again, and then post the logs here?

This has something to do with the root certificates on your machine. What OS are you running and has it been recently updated?


aoverbey    Jun 15 3:28PM 2017

Windows 7 Pro and it runs updates every day.


gchen    Jun 15 8:48PM 2017

Their SSL certificate is signed by Go Daddy Root Certificate Authority - G2. Can you run certmgr.msc to see if this certificate is included in the trusted root certificates?


aoverbey    Jun 20 1:06AM 2017

Yes it is.


gchen    Jun 20 11:49AM 2017

Make sure that root certificate is enabled for Server Authentication. On my Windows machine once I disabled that I got the exact same error x509: certificate signed by unknown authority.


aoverbey    Jun 22 11:46PM 2017

Where would I find that option at?


Gang Chen    Jun 23 1:23PM 2017

If you right click a certificate in the root certificate list and then choose Properties from the menu, you'll see the options to enable/disable the selected certificate.


aoverbey    Jun 26 9:59PM 2017

It's enabled same error.


gchen    Jun 27 10:44PM 2017

Do you happen to have an https proxy or a firewall that blocks that certificate? Can you try open this url in Chrome: https://pod-000-1041-02.backblaze.com/b2api/v1/b2_upload_file/2568b8213d5e79405bc9051b/c001_v0001041_t0005? If the certificate works it should give you something like:

{
  "code": "method_not_allowed",
  "message": "Only POST is supported, not GET",
  "status": 405
}

If you're using IE, it won't give your this message because of the 405 status code.


aoverbey    Jun 29 10:19AM 2017

Firewall was blocking it, it's working now. Thank you for the help.


gchen    Jun 29 12:44PM 2017

Thanks for reporting back. Let me know if the backup works.
