Description of my issue:
This is a site that has moved to a new server (it is the subdomain referred to in ticket #16911: Redirect to Subdomain) Up till now it has worked flawlessly.
The first error occured on the main domain when running the config wizard. The error was colud not save max execution time ... you wil have to configure manually. I ran Akeeba Tool to fix permissions and everything was fine and I was able to upgrade to J2.5.13 and run backups.
For the subdomain there are 4 profiles:
#1: Full Site Backup - Local (default)
#2: Database Backup Only - Local
#3: Full Site Backup - Remote (DropBox)
#4: Database Backup Only - Remote (Amazon S3)
#1 & #3 are identical apart from the remote configuration; similarly, #2 & 4 are identical apart from the remote configuration.
I can run the config wizard when the active profile is set #1 and backup also with #1. I have also run succesful backups on #2 and #4. Profile #3 is the one giving most problems. The config wizard gives the same error mentioned earlier. I set the manual values to those in the main domain and try to run the backup. The backup starts then I get these errors:
Backup Failed
The backup operation has been halted because an error was detected.
The last error message was:
AJAX Loading Error
HTTP Status: 500 (Internal Server Error)
Internal status: error
XHR ReadyState: 4
Raw server response:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

If I take a manual backup of either the main domain or the subdomain I can transfer the backup to my server, update Joomla and other extensions. All is well.
The current Fine tuning times are set 2.0;20.0;75%. I tried reducing max execution to 15 secs but that didn't make a difference.
I have other Joomla installs on the same server, all with Akeeba Admin Tools and Backup and none of them have given errors despite being transferred from the same old server to this new one.
What do you suggest I try next?
Thanks,
Ric
