   tab and when I try to run a job:
    Server self connect: The HTTP response test
   get a error “connect() timed out!”The HTTP response test get a false http status()

 * Hi tuneful,
 * it could be that your web hosting provider limits the request for local cronjobs.
   Do you see updates for plugins and themes on your blog? Can you use future posts?
   If that all works maybe a plugin will limit the request for our plugin. Please
   switch off other plugins and try again.
 * regards,
    Robert

 * Hi Robert,
 * I tried what you suggested, but it didn’t work. Found the solution here (I’m 
   running OSX Server): [http://techblog.tysononline.us/2013/backwpup-server-self-connect-error](http://techblog.tysononline.us/2013/backwpup-server-self-connect-error)
