When I try to just restore the database I get the following error:

Unable to read the database backup file /var/www/html/roc/administrator/backups/database-sql.sql , database was not imported!

The actual backup file I am using in the Joomla.Cloner.php is in:

/var/www/html/roc/

Hi there! Have you checked through a ftp client if you have any files extracted in this direcotry /var/www/html/roc/ and also in this /var/www/html/roc/administrator/backups?

I would suggest you check the ftp path of where you extracted the files, else you should try the "Install files directly" option!

Second, check the backup archive and see if this file exists administrator/backups/database-sql.sql in it, if not the problem might be from the original host which didn't created the database backup, for this you might need to uncheck the 'Active' checkbox near mysqldump line, in JoomlaCloner Configuration, and then create a new backup!

Let me know if you still have problems! Ovidiu
