 * HI,
 * My website is hosted on dreamhost. I installed and setup the keys. However, when
   I tried to select the bucket…the bucket displayed below message.
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined method SimpleXMLIterator::__toString() in /home/
   username/XXX/wp-content/plugins/dreamobjects/AWSSDKforPHP/utilities/simplexml.
   class.php
 * How do I fix it ?
 * Thank you!

 * Are you using PHP 5.2 by chance?

 * Yeah you’ll have to upgrade to 5.3 or 5.4 :/
 * The only way to support 5.4 was to (apparently) drop 5.2. WP (and everything 
   WordPressy) runs great on 5.3, which is actually much faster anyway.

 * I am still having problems with using this plugin.
 * I have my WP site on Dreamhost. I’ve entered the keys, and can see and select
   the bucket I want to backup my site to. I’ve configured the backup page for all
   files and database, on a daily schedule with the minimum backup retention. I 
   waited two days, and NOTHING shows up in my bucket. I then click the “Backup 
   ASAP” button and got the message:
 * “You have an ad-hoc backup scheduled for today at 08:31 pm. Do not hit refresh
   on the backups page. You may continue using your site per usual, the backup will
   run behind the scenes.”
 * Groovy. I think all is swell, and come back the next day and… ZILCH. Nothing 
   in the bucket.
 * What is wrong, or what am _I_ doing wrong?

 * DJ,
 * 1) Please make your own topic 🙂 This one is resolved, and it throws things off.
 * 2) Have you turned on the error logging and, if so, is anything in there?
 * 3) What’s your domain? If you don’t want to make it public, you can email me 
   at mika.epstein AT dreamhost.com and I’ll take a look on the inside.
