Duplicator 1.3.10 – Upload installer.php error

A problem was encountered with Duplicator 1.3.10 which does not occur with 1.3.4. Using 1.3.10, Packages were created for two different local websites (aafords.com and fmaatc.org).

1. The installer.php files get errors when trying to upload using FileZilla and will not upload to the host (iPage). The FileZilla log appears that FileZilla tried the upload three times before aborting the connection.

2. Used iPage’s ControlPanel Upload option to upload the installer.php files. When trying to run the installer.php file, a 500 Internal Server Error occurs.

3. Temporary Resolution – Reinstalled Duplicator 1.3.4 – created Duplicator packages for both websites (aafords.com and fmaatc.org); uploaded the .zip and .php files to host (iPage) via FileZilla; ran the installer.php as usual and got both websites installed. Change “http” to “https” during both installs.
