Hey Allen,
Are there any clues in the log file? This could be a Timeout Issue, Permission Issue or a full disk… If you do need to post the log file please submit it using the help ticket system…
Thanks
Ok I go post the log file now. I don’t think it should be timeout or full disk issue because I am able to us the Duplicator on other sites without any issue that are under the same domain.
Did you find a solution to this problem? I have been having the same issue. I’m not sure why because some of my websites it works fine, but others it doesn’t.
I believe in that particular case it was related to a symbolic link that was set. Which was a stats directory at the root of the WordPress install. That particular directory (stats) had a symbolic link to another folder that the plugin couldn’t access which was causing the package creation process to stop. We hope to fix the check for sym links in the future…
Is there a way I could fix it? It would save me a ton of time if I could just backup the whole website instead of moving it over a different way.
Do you have any symbolic links in your path? It may also be related to a Permissions error… Check out the FAQ below for some tips:
Here is a helpful section on the FAQs page:
-> Browse To: http://lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq/
-> Find Section: “3. Troubleshoot”
-> See Area/Question: “Permission & System Issues”
You might also ping your host or server admin and see if they can spot any issues in your php error log…
Having this problem as well. Package completes reporting 0 bytes with a warning in the log about ZipArchive running into a possible disk quota issue when closing the zip file.
There’s no disk quota issue on the account/server and snapshots were working fine a few days ago. There are no symbolic links in the WordPress directory. Any suggestions?
If you have a tried all the items offered on the FAQ and nothing works you can submit a support ticket by clicking on the support link in the plugin..
I’m having the same issue, and it’s not due to disk space (plenty available) or permissions (the script file gets generated fine). I do have a “stats” folder in the root which might be causing the problem, but GoDaddy won’t allow it to be removed. Would be interested when Duplicator is modified to deal with symbolic links. Otherwise, it’s a lifesaver!
Hey Brian,
It now automatically skips sym links, however you will have to get the developers version, until the next version is released.
-> Browse to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/duplicator/developers/
-> Look for the section “Other Versions”
-> Click on “Development Version” and download the zip plugin file
-> Uninstall your current version and install this one
Let me know if this solves your issue…
Thank you for the fast response! I found a different plugin to solve my client’s problem, but I will try this out next time it comes up.
Sounds Good! Thanks for the feedback.
I’m having exactly the same issue. I’ve tried try developer version but i’get an error
What kind of error are you getting?
