Database not importing

I created a backup of my website from my local MAMP server and am trying to migrate it to our VPS. I created the database manually on my VPS and entered all the correct info in the XCloner restore page.  The files all import but when I go to the next step of importing the database I get this error:

Unable to read the database backup file /var/www/vhosts/defsecurity.com/httpdocs/abs/administrator/backups/database-sql.sql , database was not imported!

 

I tried to find that file to change the permissions but couldn't.  I don't know what to do next, what would you suggest?

thanks.

Could you post a screenshot of your restore screen? are you using the ftp restore method? if so, you might want to check the ftp upload path there and make sure it matches the Install dir: one lcation.
