Backed up and successfully copied XCloner backup file of local WordPress instance, XCloner.php and TAR.php files to:

http://s328140129.on.....nehome.us/

after which I ran the XCloner.php script.

I thought success was at hand for immediately afterwards I DID get the WordPress home page at the above URL

but as soon as I tried to navigate to ANY other page I received a:

Error 500 – Internal server error

An internal server error has occured!

Please try again later.

 

Thinking this was perhaps an issue with permissions, I did a chmod 777 ./ -R to recursively eliminate any possible permissions than may have been demoted in the backup or restore process.  (And yes I know this is not good security practice, but it was an expedient for troubleshooting.) In any case, this did not fix the problem.  Also tried accessing the wp-admin console but got the same error.

I also looked into the wp-config.php file and noticed the following excerpts which looked a bit odd.

/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('WP_CACHE', true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
define('DB_NAME', 'db362496149');#bitnami_wordpress');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'dbo362496149');#bitnami');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'prototype');#6a09894c69');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('WP_SITEURL','http://s328140129.on.....');
define('WP_HOME','http://s328140129.on.....');
define('RELOCATE',true);
define('DB_HOST', 'db2895.perfora.net');#localhost:3306');

THREE of the above define statements have clearly been substituted via the script but the original values have lingered in such a way that perhaps they're causing PHP syntax and/or database problems.

I don't think the original WordPress instance being part of a bitnami stack should be a factor, but would be grateful if any one could offer any suggestions as to why only the home page works after the restore.

Hi Tom! All 500 errors are logged in your site/server error log, try to check that and see what is the exact issue!

 

I might guess it is something to do with the Permalinks, is mod_rewrite working properly on your server?
