Description of my issue:
Hello - I moved a site from one account to another on host gator. I use Akeeba Backup to backup my sites and then use the post processing to an FTP server in my office. This worked fine on the original account and stopped working when I moved it. When I go to the post processing section I am able to successfully Test FTP connection. I worked with Host Gator and provided them the section of the log file here:

They analyzed it and responded with the following saying that the script is stopping before it tries to upload the file. Here is their response:
Hello,
Reviewing the stack trace I am showing that the Akeeba process fails before it attempts to load the zip file into memory:

After it reports the above failure messages the script then begins to load the zip file into memory. You will need to contact the Akeeba developers to investigate why their script is failing before it attempts to load the file into memory as this is beyond our scope of support. However, if you are asked to make any server side changes or do any server side testing we will gladly assist you with this.

This is beyond my knowledge level but I hope you understand it and can provide some feedback for me.
Thanks.
