Not sure if this is the place to mention it.

As noted here and there, it has been a nightmare to configure Akeeba Backup on the Godaddy server one of my clients insisted on using, but I've managed.

Just to let everybody know. The account was made last week (recently) and I found that the information about using the alternative script for a CRON-job here:
https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/akeeba-backup-documentation/automating-your-backup.html#frontend-backup

was no longer valid (for this particular account).

I still used the alternative script for the CRON-job. However the path had to be altered. The command I used to get it working is

/usr/bin/php5 "$HOME/public_html/cli/akeeba-altbackup.php" --profile=YOURPROFILE_ID


where YOURPROFILE_ID = the profile of the backup configuration

Hope this helps...

You are right. I had spotted this myself two weeks ago and changed it in the documentation source. We have not published it yet. When the new version of Akeeba Backup is released in the next two weeks we will also update our online documentation. Thank you, anyway, for the heads up!
