GoDaddy Duplicator Issue : ZipArchive close failure

    Hi,

    I’m having a problem running Duplicator on GoDaddy. It backs up the SQL database fine but then chokes on trying to make the zip installer file. That file it’s trying to make is about 185MB, not too big.

    Here’s the error log message:

    MESSAGE:
    ZipArchive close failure.
    DETAILS:
    This hosted server may have a disk quota limit.
    Check to make sure this archive file can be stored.

    I was on Chat Support with GoDaddy for a long time, they suggested manually setting my php5.ini file to the following:

    upload_max_filesize = 200M
    post_max_size = 200M
    memory_limit = 1000M
    max_execution_time = 1000

    Well, actually, I upped the amounts from the first suggestion, as it did not work. Neither do these settings.

    Can someone suggest why there’s an issue? I believe ZipArchive is enabled. My particular GoDaddy service is: Economy Web Hosting Linux.

    Thank you for any suggestions, I can’t really move this site until Duplicator is working, at least hoping so…manually doing it seems crazy-making.

    Hey Soulincode,

    Actually on a budget host 185MB is quite large. You might try and see if you can enable the mysqldump option or create a folder filter and then manually move the files over manually. Checkout this question on the FAQs page I believe it may help or provide some clues about this issue:
    -> Browse to: http://lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq
    -> Find section: “Timeout Issues”

    Hope that helps!

    Cheers~

    Hi Cory,

    Thanks a lot for the response and input.

    I got the total site down to about 135MB, and played around with the initial Timeout Issues settings in the FAQ. Finally, after several tries, I succeeded in getting an installer and archive out.

    I’ve not yet reinstalled the site on another service as the client still needs to pick a host, but my fingers are crossed it will work. And it’s a great relief to be closing in on an exit from GoDaddy.
