Description of my issue:
Inherited site with this old version of Akeeba BU. Want to update akeeba for backup to use to upgrade site to J3.
I was able to make a backup with currently installed version of Akeeba. Did not yet try to create staging site with the backup.
Tried to update Akeeba:
1) via directory (files extracted to /akeeba folder in /tmp ): error msg:
Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.
Path does not have a valid package.
2) via direct link:
Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.
- Checked and re-copied download id.
- checked directory is writable
