Hi, I'm trying to clone my site to a different server but when restoring (i'm using the manual process) I always get this error:

 

TAR error: Error while opening {/customers/petyarent.be/petyarent.be/httpd.www/plugins/editors/fckeditor/editor/dialog/fck_spellerpages/spellerpages/server-scripts/spellchecker.php} in write binary mode

 

Any idea what the problem could be, I allready copied the backup file a 2nd time to the server and also checked the rights on the server their all 777.

 

Thanks,

Jurgen

HI Jurgen! Have you checked the disk space available on the restore location, do you have enough to restore that backup?

Also, make sure when restoring to use an empty directory and see if it helps

Hi Ovidiu,

Hi Ovidiu,

 

Just took a new backup removed all previous files and tried to restore again, I get the same error message and when I continue with the database backup after I have that error, I get the following error for the database backup:

 

Unable to read the database backup file /customers/petyarent.be/petyarent.be/httpd.www//administrator/backups/database-sql.sql , database was not imported!

Have you checked if the backup you have there is complete? Does it have the same size as on the original host?

 

If it still fails and backup is ok, try extracting it manually and restart the restore process with the Skip files restore option checked

You need to check if the administrator/backups/database-sql.sql file is inside the backup archive, if it is, as i previously indicated, you might need to extract the backup archive manually, then restart the restore process.

Ovidiu,

 

Thank you for the help, I managed to copy the site.

 

After extracting everything local on my computer and then via ftp moving it to the new location the site allready worked (pointing to my database on the other domain).

I then tried the xcloner.php script and the database restored without any problems, I've removed the double entries from the configuration.php wich were pointing to my other database and everything is working fine!

 

Thank you for the great support!

 

Jurgen
