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 10MiB, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Can't find the expanded configuration options after installing the pro version.

I was using the free version of Akeeba but today I bought the pro version and downloaded and installed it.  I didn't uninstall the free version first. But when I couldn't find the options need on the configuration page, I uninstalled everything and then re-installed (from my server's home/tmp directory where I uploaded and unzipped the package.  Still no joy. Joomla wouldn't install anything until I unzipped the downloaded file. Perhaps not everything got installed.

Specifically, I want to backup to our google drive, but there doesn't seem to be anything that will allow me to do this, the configuration page is (if my memory serves) just like the free version.  I'm attaching a screen shot of the configuration page (I took the screen shot before I uninstalled and installed the plug in, but other than only showing 1 profile, everything is the same as before. Please tell me how I can find these options. THANKS!

The options are rendered using a piece of JavaScript. Most likely, your browser is still caching the JavaScript from an earlier version. Clear your browser's cache (see https://clear-my-cache.com).

If this doesn't help, let me know. It'd be a JavaScript error from something else running on the page. I'll have to make the ticket private and ask you for more information to help you in this case.

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for your prompt reply.  I tried different browsers, I cleared the caches on all and set our cloudflare to “development mode” (and cleared the cache afterwards).  But, alas, no joy.  Let me know what to do next. Couldn't figure out how to make this reply "private">

Thanks,

Tom

You can always edit your ticket to make it private. I did this for you.

Please provide me with the following information:

  1. The URL to your site's administrator login page
  2. Super User username and password
  3. FTP connection information

Please allow up to one business day (GMT+2 timezone) for me to log in to your site and debug this issue. When I'm done I will post back. Once the issue is fixed, you can revoke my access e.g. by changing the Super Administrator and FTP passwords.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In order for me to help you fast and accurately, please provide the information by copying the form below, paste it into your reply and fill in the information:

----- Access Information Form -- START -----
Super Administrator access

  • URL to site's administrator page (e.g. http://www.example.com/administrator?foobar):
  • Super User username:
  • Super User password:


FTP connection information

  • FTP methods supported (e.g. FTP, FTPS, SFTP):
  • FTP Hostname:
  • FTP Username:
  • FTP Password:
  • FTP Port (if other than 21 for FTP and 22 for SFTP, ask your host):


----- Access Information Form -- END -----

Please make sure that you have tested the Super Administrator connection using a different browser or machine than the one you are using daily. Double check that logging in is possible and that the user has Super User privileges, i.e. it's not a regular Administrator. Make sure that your site does not block whole countries or IP ranges which would make it impossible for me to log in / connect by FTP. Finally, please do make sure that the FTP connection works and that logging in to it I have access to your site's files.

Kindly note that your site connection information and your site content is handled in strict confidence. Not only we are a reputable development company, we are also bound by law (EU GDPR) to do so. After you file your reply, the connection information to your site will be stored in an encrypted, hidden storage area on our site and will be automatically deleted when this ticket is closed. Finally keep in mind that the people providing support to you are the same developers who wrote the software you're using on your site.
