Hi,
First time user, got successfully to here (see image below) and then pulled up a 404 error (file not found).
Any guidance is appreciated, where can I troubleshoot?
Thanks!

You have moved the files to the olpe/ subdirectory, so you need to call the restore script accordingly, should be http://...restore_url.../olpe/XCloner.php

You need to create the mysql user and pass from inside your hosting control panel and assign them to the database you want to restore the backup to.

THANKS!
I was able to get that login/pw from the source locations wp-config.php file.
During that process there was one error message, one of the tables was already there it said.
I clicked "continue" and it seem to restore the DB, but never really told me when it was done or that it was successful.
It kept "restoring" (that is what it looked like) and after 10 min's or so, I closed the browser tab and logged into my WP site.
I went into "settings" and "permmalinks" and then "save changes" and "bingo" it apparently had successfully installed the zip file backup I had done with your plugin! THANKS for your patience with a newbie.
Your plugin is terrific, if you have spare time (:-)) what would be terrific, you could have someone write a simple, very basic protocol of some of these steps that you might of course take for granted for most users (perhaps a volunteer could do that and post it).
Thanks again,
Peter

Try and use an empty database before attempting the restore, it should help fix the mysql import errors. Ovidiu

Ovidiu: THANKS!
I am now having a major issue, can you give me a tip:
I moved the WP site at this locatio (SOURCE SITE)
It all seemed to work, until I started to change the pages and menu in the SOURCE location.
Suddenly I noticed that the same changes also occured in the DESTINATION LOCATION
Does that imply that I am using the same DB for both locations, and all I need to do is to copy the ORIGINAL DB from the SOURCE LOCATION TO to the DESTINATION LOCATION.
If I can't locate a copy of the original DB, can my DESTINATION SITE which is now running with the same DB of the SOURCE SITE, be saved, i.e. I have the pages still in the DESTINATION LOCATION, could those pages be reconnected to a new DB?
Sorry, hope I make sense?
THANKS A MILLION.

PS: I have the full backup of the site which I moved from laecovilla.org to cms-excellence.com/olpe (same server)
- would you suggest to first remove the *entire directory* at cms-excellence.com/olpe, before resuming the restoration from the backup I mmade with xclone?
- would that eliminate the issue I had last time, as I did something silly: I had brand new installation of WP in the new directory........but if that new directory is completely empty, I might get a better result?
Final Q: How can I prevent though that when I restore the site from the backup, that it will "overwrite the DB on the source location which I want to work independantly. I know this is basic stuff: How can I make sure that I am using *separate DB* for the two locations?

To separate the databases of the two sites, simply create a new database and use that when asked on the restore screen. And yes, it would be best to make the restore to an empty directory, no need to preinstall Wordpress before the restore. Hope it helps!
