Support

 

Description of my issue:

I took an akeeba backup of my production site and used kickstart to restore it to a test domain in order to test the backup and restore process (as I have done many times before). The site appears to be working front and back end except Akeeba backup which throws the following error. Needless to say akeeba backup works without exception on the production site.

I have a pdf of the whole debugging page but I do not know if it is safe to upload on a public ticket.

I understand that this is submitted outside your support hours and I do not expect any response outside of those hours. There is no hurry, I just want to be assured that in the event of needing to I could successfully restore my production site.

Thanks for the response.. my knowledge of php is limited.. But as I had some time on Saturday (weather was absymal) I deleted lines 68-81 of ConfigurationWizard.php and that stopped the exception. To repair my work I reinstalled Akeeba backup 8.0.15 and the exception has not recurred..
