Description of my issue:
Site installed this Monday, everything up to date, except AB. I kept having this error when installing extensions, especially with plugins. Sometimes the Akeeba extension installer worked (or at least I had no error, but there are also no records of restore points), sometimes it gave me a 500.
Manual backup (your backup button) always worked and still does.
Now I'm trying to install the latest version, and get the 500 when clicking the "Update to the latest version" button.
Thank you!
