Is mod_security enabled on your server? It might be interfering the operation.
Mert,
Thanks for the suggestion. Disabling mod_security did make a difference. The files got transferred over. However, on trying to complete the migration on the target server, I am getting 3 errors, as below.
======
Backup-13318541478.zip is being extracted… Failed!
Backup-133185414812.zip is being extracted… Failed!
DBBackup-13318541121.sql is being imported… Failed!
Migration has been completed but with 3 errors.
=====
How do I address this?
Appreciate the help.
Rajesh
Could you please temporarily set those files’ permissions to 777 and retry?
I changed the permissions on these 3 files and retried the “complete migration”. But its still failing.
thanks
Rajesh
BTW, I chose only the 3 files for the migration re-try. Should I choose all the files when I hit the “complete migration” button?
thanks
Rajesh
Looks like either the server you are migrating from or the server you are migrating to corrupted the backup files during the file transfer.
1. Go to Backup Manager and download the backup files.
2. Upload those files to the /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/ directory on the target server.
3. Retry completing the migration.
I tried it but its not working. I continue to get the failure message. It appears that the zip file may be corrupted when it was assembled. Is starting over an option?
Hey Mert,
I tried uploading the DB SQL file separately to see if that will work. I am getting the following error message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
There might be some sort of a limitation regarding file operations that is not letting the script to finalize the backup file creation successfully. Sure, you can retry any step as many times as you want.
If you wish to use the database backup created by WordPress Move with other scripts such as phpMyAdmin, you need to Convert it using the Backup Manager. Conversion is quite simple: Select the database backup file(s), select Convert option from the drop down list and click the Apply button next to it. After that, you can navigate to the /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/converted/ directory to grab the converted database backup file(s).
Well I can’t say what is causing the last issue you mentioned, really.
