I have rebuild my site, using Joomla 1.5.23 and tried to install Akeeba 3.3.b1 and I get the following error:

Hi!

That's a known Joomla! issue on slow shared hosts when installing a rather big component like Akeeba Backup. The best way to work around it is to follow our manual installation instructions.
