Description of my issue: I have used akeeba backup for a long time, but unfortunately this time I have to use a server not of my choosing. I have installed the core version of akeeba rather than pro because I cannot get the pro version to install, despite increasing the file upload size limit.
I have tried reducing the part size. I have tried excluding non-essential directories, I have tried just backing up the database. I continue to get an internal server error.
The database is hosted on a different server from the php files. I have done that before and akeeba still runs, so I don't think that is the issue.
Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
