Hi!
I'm having trouble restoring a backup of a live site I made on my local WAMP. Here are the steps I've followed so far:
* Backed up database from live site and downloaded the file
* Downloaded files from restore folder from com_cloner, 3 in total
* Copied all 4 files to directory where I want them installed within the WAMP root
* Created database with new name on phpmyadmin to house this new backup
* Ran joomlacloner from localhost
Up to this point no problems, but when I try to restore via direct install option, I get this message:
[quote]Warning: fopen(C:/wamp/www/Caderh//administrator/backups/perm.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\Caderh\Joomla.Cloner.php on line 1969
Could not set permissions! Permissions file C:/wamp/www/Caderh//administrator/backups/perm.txt not found![/quote]
And after I click on the continue link, I get this message:
[quote]Unable to read the database backup file C:/wamp/www/Caderh//administrator/backups/database-sql.sql , database was not imported![/quote]
I also tried restoring via the ftp option, but I can't seem to connect. I'm using localhost as server, root as user, no password and "C:/wamp/www/Caderh/" as ftp path, but nothing.
Safe to say that I´m stuck. I get an empty configuration file installed for my efforts, so no go there.
Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Are you able to manually extract the backup archive on your localhost computer? If not, i would advise on re-downloading it from the original host but this time use a ftp client for the download process
Hope it helps! Ovidiu

Hi!
Thanks a lot! Downloading the file with an ftp client helped, but there's still a small problem. I also installed an ftp server on my computer to aid the process, so now I'm using these values for transfer:
server: localhost
user: root
pass: xxx
path:
I get through the fisrt step fine, but then i get this message:
[quote]Unable to read the database backup file C:/wamp/www/Caderh//administrator/backups/database-sql.sql , database was not imported!
[/quote]
Any ideas?
