I have no security plugins installed with any of them. * Plugin Contributor [Daniel Hüsken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielhuesken/) * (@danielhuesken) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-response-error-406/#post-7362436) * You can check yor .htaccess for rules that can have to to with wp-cron.php. Or trying to decativate Plugins to test if it depends on one spezific. * Thread Starter [GSP1664](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gsp1664/) * (@gsp1664) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-response-error-406/#post-7362482) * I don’t see any rules in .htaccess which refer to wp-cron.php. In fact, the . htaccess file appears to be the default WordPress one. I tried de-activating plugins and that did not help. I downloaded the site to my local and it appears to work properly. I am running your plug-in on 2 other sites hosted by the same web host and it works fine there. * What do you suggest? * Thanks.

Those jobs that are scheduled do appear to run but take a very long time to complete – the DB backup takes over 100 minutes for a DB sized at 2.5 MB. The full backup was cancelled after running for several hours. * Thanks.
