First of all I think that this could be an awesome program.  I am about to start transering to a Dedicated Server and this could save me many hours of headaches…

I am trying to backup and restore a wordpress blog + data bases to a new server.  When I check the cron table I receive the following errors..  I am sure it is something simple I am missing.  I have read the Manual Twice and Googled to no avaiile

When I click on the MYSQL tab it tells me that it is unable to 

Unable to select database kjbarret_bid4fishing

I am using localhost as the path way which should be able to connect to the database and I know the DB, user name and passwords are correct 

When I test the cron tab I get the following error messages

Could not connect: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Unable to select database joomla16

Using configs/test.php as configuration file

Starting /home/kjbarret/public_html/bid4fishing.com/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php

Starting XCloner for site localhost at 2011-03-09 08:34

LL DONE! I will exit now from cron.

It appears to be a problem with Joomla which I did not think was required for a WordPress Application... Is this something that needs to be adjusted in the config for Xcloner....  I am only using this for WordPress.

Thank you for your assistance…

The mysql error you have there seems to be related to the XCloner Config->Mysql tab config details, i would advise rechecking them, and also, if you are using a separate config file, you need to update that also!

 

Regarding the path error, you need to create this folder Joomla_1.6.0/administrator/backups and make it writeable

 

if you still have issues, send us please a screenshot from your XCloner Config->Info tab

Thanks for the prompt reply...  I do not have Joomla installed on the website?  Do I need to have that installed. As I have never needed it. 

 

I have tried to install this but there is a conflict as I already have the WordPress index.php on that directory. Plus it wants me to take the administrator folder off to that directory also. 

 

Following are the screen shots.

The errors you are receiving are pointing to a Joomla install, is this a clean XCloner install? If not, try maybe and reinstall it, it should update the proper paths and mysql details.

This was a clean install to my wordpress Version 3.0.1 

I did some more trials I was able to back up and I then tried to manually restore. all the files are on the new website and when I try to access the XCloner.php the browser brings up a Page Not Found 

http://www.bid4hunti.....Cloner.php

all of the permission are set properly....

here is the Index of the directory http://www.bid4hunti.....shing.com/

which all seems correct. 

Any suggestions at this point to activate the restore.

I will uninstall XCloner for Wordpress and download a new one and go through the install again.

Thanks Ovidiu, your responses are very timely.

 

I am impressed.

I have made a clean install in the WordPress Blog. Manually attempted the restore using the Tar.php, XCloner.php, and backup file in the same folder   mydomain.com/clone/XCloner.php and a page not found comes up....  not sure why.  The folders have full write access permissions.

To clearify the XCloner.php is not opening up to the Restore Panel.

 

I will search for that error on the forum....

 

Thank you.

As a followup by changing the permissions to 755 I was able to transfer the new MYSQL files....  the Blog files is another issue.  Still working on getting that done.

Well I have been able to make a manual transfer.  It appears that all of the files are there, however, when I open the transfered blog, I get a new generic blog.  Also I recreated a data base on the new server...  and it appears that the SQL has transferred over o.k. I also am seeing a new wordpress Blog DB which I assume is populating the new generic Blog....  

 

I want to make sure this is transferred over ok before pointing the domain to the new server....

 

The Blog should look like this http://www.bid4fishing.com

the same Blog on the new server looks like this http://www.bid4hunti.....ishing.com

 

The folder that I transferred this to was http://www.bid4hunti.....hing.com 

I used ftp transfer rather than a direct transfer of files.

And the Restore went through with no errors.... I just cannot view the restored blog on the new server.

Thank you for your help.

I have just looked at the wp-config.php file and it is structured like this for the DB 

 

Maybe this can shed some light on this I am familiar with php but by no means an expert. 

 

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'this value is correct');#oldname_wdps3');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'thisvalue is correct');#oldusername_wdps3');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'this value is correct');#w9sPE3c8leNDQDZ6');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.bid4hunti.....ishing.com');
define('RELOCATE',true);
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');#localhost');
