# Duplicator: Step 1 Deploy Errors 29,027

 * I’ve been using Duplicator for many months with my UsefulUsability.com website
   sandbox and am loving it.
 * Unfortunately, I’m now not able to use it.
 * I keep getting errors when I’m installing my website to my local machine.
 * After the local machine install, instead of being able to Save Permalinks for
   the next step, I’m faced with the new install screen for WP. It’s as if my database
   doesn’t exist. I’ve searched many forum answers and can’t find anything for this.
 * There are 29,027 deploy errors in the Step 1 results. My belief is that’s the
   root cause of the error. In addition, when I try to read the install-log.txt 
   file to determine what those errors are it comes up blank.
 * See screen shot. [http://screencast.com/t/a0voaDm4OMb](http://screencast.com/t/a0voaDm4OMb)
 * Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

 * Hey ctomlin,
 * Checkout these questions on the FAQs page I believe they may help or provide 
   some clues about this issue:
    -> Browse to: [http://lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq](http://lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq)-
   > Find question: “Why does the WordPress installer show up after running the 
   installer.php file?” and “What if I get errors or warnings on the install report?“
 * Most likely this is related to a database version incompatibility issue. Inside
   the FAQ are links to some other forum threads that users have posted work-a-rounds
   on how to get around the issue.
 * The team that works on the Pro version of the plugin should have a new option
   coming out soon that will try and build the database in a compatibility mode (
   Legacy Mode) so that when you try and move from one mysql version to another 
   it will generate sql that is back-wards compatible for older mysql versions.
 * Hope that helps!

 * Thanks, I’ll investigate this issue.
 * However, you didn’t address the second question I had, which is why is the install-
   log.txt file completely blank?

 * Opps, sorry about that… Not sure, I would say maybe permission issues, did you
   happen to try more than once.
