Description of my issue:

Hello,
I wanted to reinstall my site from an archive in *. Jpa. I can not install the archive on my site because I have a message for Akeeba install joomla 2.5 which requires PHP 5.2.7 and my web hosting provider (Amen) can not be better than PHP 5.2.4.
Have you a solution to propose to me because my site is currently closed.

PHP 5.2.4 was released five (5) years ago. In fact, PHP 5.2 is end of life since January 2011. Version 5.2.4 has severe bugs and security holes. If your host can't do any better than providing you with insecure, outdated software I would recommend switching to another host a.s.a.p. If, however, this is not a feasibl short term goal you may try using the manual restoration mention in our documentation's "Unorthodox: the emergency manual restoration" chapter. Sorry for the lack of a direct link, I am replying from my mobile phone right now.
