EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue: For several months Akeeba has been reporting php mem_limit is too low, but it is 96M which should be high enough for such a small site. Backups worked fine until I updated to Joomla 3.6, now all five progress bars go green in under 1 second but no backup is made.

Running the configuration wizard gives this message:

"Configuration Wizard Failure
Akeeba Backup detected that your server requires a maximum execution time that is too low to be practical. You are better off switching hosts or asking your host to increase PHP's maximum execution time and lift any CPU usage limitations from your account.
"
I have a test site withe same host, using the same settings and Akeeba works fine. Should I uninstall and reinstall?

Thanks David

I changed those settings as suggested and it still fails in the same way. I used phpmemtest to check avialble memory and the result was 23M.

Joomla System Information reports php memory_limit of 24M (local) and 128M (master). It also reports that the php.ini file its using is /etc/php55.ini.d/ , a directory to which I have no access and the host explains can't be changed because of the effect on other sites.

My php.ini in the usual public_html directory

Fixed at last! I had been editing php.ini but turns out I needed to edit .user.ini too.

Backup completed
