Mandatory information about my setup: I run a website which uses Akeeba for the backup. I was silly and didn't configure the backup location before the routine backup automatically carried itself out
Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes, none related.

Joomla! version: 1.7
PHP version: (unknown)
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Akeeba Backup version: (unknown)
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it. I am afraid I can't get to the logs due to the error, please find screenshot attached though
The front end of the website is working fine, unfortunatley the backend I can't access when I try and go to the administrator console. All I see is the akeeba logo which also says 'backup required'. All I can do on the page is click on that, so when I do click on it - It takes me to a yellow box which says the following;
Akeeba Backup can not take a backup of your site because the output directory is not writable. Please follow the instructions below to fix this issue.
In order to fix this issue, please go to the Configuration Page and set the Output Directory to [DEFAULT_OUTPUT] (all caps, including the brackets). If this still doesn't work, please take a look at our troubleshooting instructions
When I click on 'Configuration Page' I see the screen shot that I have attached. I can input my configs but cannot see the save button. Obviously without the save button I cannot get any further.
Your help would be very much appreciated, and in advance - Thank you!
