Im trying to restore my website, after a breakdown. I have used Xcloner before,  I know it works.

 

I get this error:

Unable to read the database backup file /var/www/vhosts/martinthorgaard.dk/httpdocs//administrator/backups/database-sql.sql , database was not imported!
All should be done! Click here to continue...

 

Please notice the double "//" in the path, just before "administrator"

I am wondering if thats is the problem?

It might be too little info from me, but please comment if you have any solutions or ideas.

 

regards,

Martin

Hi Martin, that error indicates usually that the backup archive was not extracted fully as the mysql backup archive is missing, so check that:

 

1. you have enough disk space to restore your backup

2. the created backup is complete and the administrator/backups/database-sql.sql file is inside it

3. the size of the backup archive on the restore site matches the one from the original site

 

 hope it helps! Ovidiu
