Hi

 

I have been cloning a website from one server to another a few times now and keep getting the same Tar error:

 

TAR error: Error while opening {/customers/pipefos.dk/pipefos.dk/httpd.www/administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/css/start/images/ui-bg_glass_45_0078ae_1x400.png} in write binary mode

 

The frontend of the site works fine after the transfer but im unable to log in to joomla backend

Any idea whats going wrong?

 

Ps. im a novice

 

Regards

Neil Schumann

Hi Neil, have you checked the disk space available on the restore site?

 

If that is ok, try then and extract the backup archive manually and restart the restore process with "skip files restore" option checked and see if it helps.

The space available is ok.

 

I need to get cleared what to do:

I firstly delete all files on the server, and clear the SQL database again. I then upload the full packup.tar to my server with FTP. Then I ekstract the tar on the server. How do i restart the the restore proces?

The other times ive done this, ive used the auto from joomla backend. 

 

Thx for your support

After you've extracted the backup archive, simply upload the restore script to the new site and access the XCloner.php in your browser, add the mysql details and check the "skip files restore" option

Try and check your Joomla Info Directory permissions tab, you might need to adjust some permissions, check also the tmp/ path in Joomla config and make sure it has the correct value!

I suggest to leave the Backup Compress option to No, it should help
