What about cloning Xcloner itself? | Old Forum | Forum Archive

Hi, I'm a new user with Xcloner, took me some time to understand it. Now it works fairly well, however I have a new question today.

I developed a site on my local server and cloned it to a live location. My client is testing the site on the live location and now I want to make a clone which includes his test data.

However, Xcloner has kept the details of my local site and database. Changing these details did not work out well, for instance the backup store and start path are not correct if typed like http://www.mydomain.com; Xcloner needs some details about the server which I cannot provide myself - or maybe I can when I ask my provider, but I don't know what I should ask for.

Then I remembered that Xcloner seems to "pick up" these details when it is freshly installed. So I thought I'd uninstall Xcloner from the live site an then install it again. Not so, when I tried to install it again I got error messages:

- JFolder::create: Infinite loop detected
- Warning! Failed to move file.
- And a series of mesasges like this one:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/localasite/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/g37565/mydomain.com) in /var/www/g37565/mydomain.com/HTML/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 323

Anyone who can help me please?

Kind regards, Frits
