First, your form does not have enough categories.  This is a Joomla 6 error

 

When I try to execute the config wizard i get the following error:

"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 8 other sites on HostM, and they all use the same PHP version set for max_execution_time 120 and work.  What is your recommended time? What else can I do to correct this error?

Ignore the configuration wizard. Go to the Configuration page and set the following towards the bottom of the page:

  • Minimum execution time: 0
  • Maximum execution time: 14
  • Execution time bias: 75
  • Disable step break before large files: Yes
  • Disable step break after large files: Yes
  • Disable proactive step breaking: Yes
  • Disable step break between domains: Yes
  • Disable step break in finalisation: Yes
  • Set an infinite PHP time limit: Yes
  • Set a large memory limit: Yes

The above does not fit what I see in HostM settings. And as I said, 7 of my 9 sites are working correctly.  77comets.org is getting the speed error, and anhoureachweek.org is not running on the cron job.

See attached screenshots for setting options.

 

I will continue to compare my other sites' settings to anhoureachweek to find why the cron jobs are not working. Unless you have some insight as to what I need to look for.

 

Thank you for your continued support
