Hi Ovidiu
Just attempted to restore my backup to a shared server and XCloner keeps reporting:
TAR error: File ../html/stats/index.html already exists and is write protected
Files succesfully copied to /var/chroot/home/content/81/6872981/html/
Configuration updated!
Please click here to continue with database import...
That file does not exist and neither does the directory. The first time I tried to restore the site, that directory and file did exist so I got rid of them because XCloner was complaining. However, XCloner is still reporting them as being there.
Also, the files are only partially extracted to the server in that there is no /wp-admin, /wp-content or /wp-includes directory.
Please advise.
Cheers

Hi Andrew, please check that the following:
1. is the restore backup the same size as on the original host?
2. are you able to open it ?
3. when creating the backup on the original site, have you checked the disk space available? if the disk quota becomes full when generating the backup, the resulted archive may be incomplete

Hi Ovidiu
I've had to completely rebuild the site. That's ok, it doesn't take long. Anyway, it looks like there's a conflict with Bullet Proof Security. I'm not really sure yet though.
For the site that I restored to my local, it only showed the homepage and the backend. I couldn't navigate at all to the other pages.
For your three questions, here's the answers:
1. yes
2. yes
3. plenty of disk space - 100+ Gb available
I'll keep checking.
Cheers!

If all files are inside the backup, then you could simply upload them to the restore location manually and then start the restore script with the "skip files restore" option checked, this way you can finish the rest of the restore process.
If you were unable to navigate inside your site pages, and permalinks are enabled, most probably it's a htaccess issue, if you like post here your htaccess code to review it. Make sure also that the mod_rewrite is enabled on the restore server.

Hi Ovidiu
I've rebuilt my site on the live/prod area at http://www.andrewanderi.com/ with it showing up as it should. On the local site, I navigate to the same page and it shows the WAMP page (see image).
I've got no idea what's going on. The .htaccess file is simply the default WordPress version. The rules are as follows:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Here's some more information about WAMP Server set up:
- WAMP version 2.1
- Apache v2.2.17
- php v5.2.9
- mysql 5.0.51a
Any ideas?
Cheers!

Could you share here the url of that WAMP site when getting the redirection error?

Hi Ovidiu
Sorry, I can't. The WAMP server is on localhost. I'm attempting to verify that the backup has worked. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it has.
Cheers!

Andrew, on your localhost, did you restore to a subdirectory? If so , the htaccess rule there is wrong, check the
RewriteBase /
, it should point to that subfolder, or better remove it
As for the url, i was only interested to see the url format, not to access it!
