Description of my issue:
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:
Ran the analysis - got this error:
Backup engine died without its state having been saved. The engine was stepped 1 times, saved 0 times
Please check if you have enough disk space; if your part size is more than 5Mb (or it's 0) please try part sizes of 20, 10, 5 and 2Mb.
Did this
If you still get this error, change time settings inside Akeeba Backup; try minimum execution time 1, maximum 7 and runtime bias 50. If this doesn't work try minimum 5, maximum 3 (yes, max is less than min) and bias 50.
Did this
First try using the Configuration Wizard button in the Control Panel page. Sometimes that's all it takes.
Did This
Still fails - I am using Akeeba backup on several other systems successfully.
