Akeeba Backup

[heleng]

I have updated my (very small) site to 3.9.13 and I am now trying to do my first site backup. I have just installed Akeeba Backup but when I ran the configuration wizard, I got a 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.

What does this mean and how can I fix it so that I can do a back up?

Hello heleng

Do as they said, contact your host

He will do it for you or inform you how to do it

If you have access to the PHP.ini file, you can increase the execution time, but if you don't have access to that, you should ask for assistance from your web host.

Akeeba needs the execution time to be high to perform the tasks properly.

Perhaps try setting in htaccess https://stackoverflow.com/questions/773 ... me-for-php ?

Many thanks to all for your helpful suggestions. I'll do the easiest one first and contact the host.
