Hello again 🙁

After successfully installing xCloner on 4 linux based Joomla websites I have moved onto a Joomla install on a Windows server (hosted with FastHosts)

I struggled to get the backups working at all via CRON and so stepped back, first trying to run cloner.cron.php?config=db_backup.php directly from my web browser. This fails completely (eventually the page times out resuling in a 500 - Internal Server Error).

So then I tried running just the cloner.cron.php file (without the specific config file); same problem: 500- Internal Server Error

(Doing the same thing on all of my Linux server installs works fine)

The only way I can get a backup to run at all on this Windows install is to run it manually through xCloner using the "Generate Backup" button on the main page.

Many thanks for your help!
