Description of my issue:

This is in reference to Tickets #25244, #25331, #25345, etc. My website has been corrupted and MUST be restored from a backup made with Akeeba Backup 5.0.4. I have followed the directions re: deleting the files installation/platform/steps.php and installation/platform/iniprocess.php after extraction, but before running the installer. However, even after deleting those files it still hangs at "Finalizing restoration stuck updating .htaccess". Is there something else that I need to do?

That is a known problem in the 5.0 series. The restore is complete, it is trying to do one last step that it should not do. You can break out of the restore and your site should be fine.

O.K., thanks. That's what I wanted to know. The site does seem to be working fine. I'll be sure to upgrade to Akeeba Backup 5.1.2 right away!

You are welcome! The issue is fixed in the 5.1 series.
