Seems to be a mysql error saying the mysql client run out of memory, i would suggest contacting your hosting support with it, they should be able to help you.

Thanks for you answer

 

It means that the hosting is limiting our performance or resources? What is the correct complain about this issue? I just ask them why we are running out memory?

 

Thanks again

Yes, send them that error and ask them if they can increase the sql memory limit for clients.

I have a similar JSON error. What to do?

I've got to say, that I already made a working backup a few days ago and I was also able to clone it. Now I installed a new plugin to easily activate and deactive noindex and nofollow on posts and I get this error. Don't know if it has anything to do with it.

Seems to be a mysql error due to insuficient permissions to the mysql user, try and check with your hosting support if they can enable the "Show Profile" query for your mysql user/db.

Fixed it by leaving out a database called "information schema" or something in the backup, which I didn't see in my cPanel and couldn't configure any permissions for.

I have xcloner  working on 4 sites on the same hosting platform – all with the same setup.

 

3 are working fine – I can do manual and cron backups.

 

On one site xcloner is not working:

 

"There was an error retrieving the JSON data from the server, try again or contact the developers!

Details: error — undefined

JSON url: index2.php?option=com_cloner&task=refresh&json=1&startf=200&lines=10514&backup=backup_2012-02-13_15-23_www.website.co.uk-sql-nodrop.tar&excl_manual= "

 

What is going on.  I do not believe it is a mysql permissions problem or anything of the sort.

 

Xcloner is working fine on 3 other sites with exactly the same setup as the one that does not work.

 

Any suggestions,  please?

 

Thank you,

 

Mike

From the looks of the error, you are running to a server timeout which might be caused if you are trying to backup some large files.

 

Try increase the max_execution_time php.ini variable limit for your site, as well as decrease the 'Files to Process per session' option to a lower number in XCloner Config System tab

 

XCloner can run on almost all servers that support PHP, however dealing with execution timeouts is depentend on each hosting setup.
