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 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue: I have backup up a site on my localhost and now want to restore to the server but keep getting the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function downloadAndReturn() on null in /home/summer/gantry.summerpools.co.za/installation/framework/download/download.php on line 166



Cannot find a logfile anywhere.

Please try unchecking the "Replace main .htaccess file with default" checkbox in the Site Setup step of the restoration.

You're welcome and thank you for the heads up! This is a bug which ought to have been reported during the beta phase (which lasted a month) but, unfortunately, nobody did. We were able to reproduce it and fix it. We'll release a new version on Monday which isn't affected by this issue.
