Gosh ! I got stressed this week-end when, after a full day of work on my website, I would make my backup... and discover that it would always hang (freeze). For each of my 5 to 10 trials, I would get permanently the message "last response from server 0 s. ago"... Even until next morning for my last trial.
Then I tried to figure out *all* what I had done on the website during that day.
Until I came to remember I had created a .ovhconfig file (see http://www.ovh.com/fr/g1207.configurer-php-web for more information).
Why did I do that : among other things, because of security reasons : I had indeed discovered that activating PHP 5.4 via .ovhconfig would give a more recent PHP 5 version (5.4.19) than doing it via .htaccess (5.4.6).
And everything (everything) had been fine on the website during the whole day (front-end and backend) with that PHP version.
The only "little" problem is that Akeeba cannot finish its job when using PHP 5.1.19 (at least with OVH using .ovhconfig file)...
So what is the problem... and how can we solve it ?
Txs in advance, Nicholas & team
