incomplete zip file

I keep making the zip file, everything else is working great, but this zip is incomplete, and won't expand manually even..."error opening file, tried to position before start of file"

so there's no point going further and trying to "restore", because it won't work...that way either..
I"ve tried it many times now...

I have full registered version, jcloner 1.5...
on joomla 108

anyway, we LOVE the component
I've been trying to get it work all day...

any help is much appreciated
thanks in advance!

Hi there! Ok, to answer your problem:
- the zip you get generated is incomplete because the backuping process is stopped by PHP
- why this happens is because php has some memory_limit on some server which when that limit is reached the scripts will timeout or become incomplete
- we have posted in our FAQ http://www.joomlaplu.....Itemid,56/ how to pass that problem using php_value in htaccess or by trying to increase the memory_limit value in php.ini configuration file

Now as from 1.5 version we have added a new functionality to the component, which is meant to fix that problem! In your configuration panel you will see a message called "Backup using Server Functions", which must be set to Yes to work! This is meant to use the server utilities zip and mysqldump which are supported by default on most of the servers, among with the ability to execute exec() function from PHP, please read our Requirements page on that http://www.joomlaplu.....ments.html

We are usually pretty fast with the support, but feel free to ask me here any questions you might have!

Regards, Ovidiu

I was able to successfully get through the cloning
process. it seems to have worked.
but now...I cant get the site to open...
I think I have the configuration file setup right....

I loaded up the new db with the data from the old db
no problems

we bought the paid version, I think we're going to need some help, once I get it once, I'll know how to do it
I just think the first run through the whole process
is the hardest for sure (isn't that almost always the case with any software though)

so the joomlacloning process worked
it created tables and stuff
I loaded up the db after that
with all the data from existing site.

now I'm getting "this site is temporarily out of service. Please contact your adminsitratorr

then it has a number '2'

its a code 2

alert, alert

yeah, we really need some help getting this to work
getting this whole process down once
and then I'll have it...

thanks very much in advance

ALMOST got it now...
