Please do not post the same issue over and over again! I read your thread the first time you posted it. Unless you allow me a few minutes to reply, I won't be able to do so.

You are using an unsupported plugin. Read this page: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/akeeba-backup-documentation/lazy-scheduling-plugin.html In order to disable the plugin, you have to use the URL with the akreset parameter, as stated in that page under the "Password" header. If you have not set up a password or have forgotten it or have no idea what I'm talking about, open your FTP programme, go into your site's plugins/system directory and rename or remove the plg_aklazy folder in there.

Hello Nicholas,

Thanks for fast support, sorry for the double postings, but after i posted it, and when i checked "My Tickets" i got the answer "No Tickets" so i thought something was wrong with my first ticket.

I disabled the plugin aklazy via myphpAdmin and this solved my problem. I need to check where the plg_aklazy came from and how it got on our website.

Thanks !

SOLVED

The unsupported aklazy plugin is shipped with Akeeba Backup because some folks found it works on their site and they don't want to spend approximately 1 Euro per year to have webcron.org run automated backups. They are a minority, but they have the bad tendency to flood me with angry posts and emails, some of them saying that this is a key feature for them. Whatever. I know all the problems the plugin causes, I've documented them and clearly warn users not to enable. That said, it's easy for some administrator (who hasn't read the docs or the warning) go "oh, cool, let's enable this scheduling plugin" and screw the site. I guess it's a Catch-22 situation: leaving the plugin in the distribution is like leaving a loaded gun in a playground, removing it will cause those using it to complain loudly. *sigh*
