I finally got my cron job running on the server (wget was disabled) but still no automated backup.
Moodle's cron.php when executed stops at about the wiki_cron... every time.
The backup screen is set execpt for the backup path at the bottom since I want it to default.
Guessing that the permissions on my moodledata folder was to restrictive I reset it to 750 and I have disabled the .htaccess file inside the folder but still no luck.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Update:
I installed moodle on my windows xp computer with nwiki and xampp. I then proceeded to configure the backup and started it using the
http:\\localhost\moodle\admin\cron.php.
It worked and even when the backup was not triggered the report always went beyond the "processing module wiki_cron" message.
On my webhost the same startup usually stops as shown below or before.
Server Time: Mon, 26 Nov

I then replaced the moodle on the wehbost with the same moodle and nwiki software that worked on the Winidows XP computer
It still does not work... I am thinking that some permissions or .htaccess setting is getting in the way.
Please help.
Cron job now seems to be working but I would still like to know what the .htaccess settings should be in the moodle folder and the moodledata folder.
In addition, what should the permissions be the folders and files?
Thanks
