I uploaded the XCloner.php, Tar.php and backup archive (made from the local Wordpress version of the site) to a remote server and ran the restore script without errors (file restore, database restore). But when all is done I am redirected to wp-admin/install.php no matter what. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

You need to check if your original site files were restored properly, specially the wp-config.php file, is it present on your new location, does it have any content inside?

Hi Ovidiu - thanks for your prompt reply. After long investigations I found 2 things that caused the problem - so let me share it in case someone else has the same problem.

XCloner does not update the tables prefix, it should be the same as on the original site. The redirection issue is fixed by adding a specific code inside the wp-config.php , i am guessing when restoring, XCloner was probably not allowed to write to it, which would explain the issue.

Hi Ovidiu - thanks for your reply.
RE: "The redirection issue is fixed by adding a specific code inside the wp-config.php"
Could you let me know what you mean by "adding a specific code inside the wp-config.php" - could you let me know how I can implement that to avoid problems in the future. Thanks again!

Checkout this topic http://codex.wordpre.....ordPress , under "If you have accidentally changed your WordPress site URL", that's the code XCloner is adding after restore to the wp-config.php file
