# Interrupt in Build Package – no timeout

 * Hello,
 * I have been a happy Duplicator user for quite some time and I have built and 
   restored literally dozens of backups. The last one was on Feb 13: I created a
   build and installed it in a different (staging) domain. No problem.
 * Now, all of a sudden, it does not work anymore. When I start the “Build package”
   step, I immediately get an error message:
 * Build Interrupt
    The current build has experienced an issue. Please try the process
   again.
 * The details shown are:
    Server Status: 200 -OK …and underneath a box with the
   header: The page you are trying to access is restricted due to a security rule.
 * I checked my .htaccess file, but there are no security settings. The permissions
   for folders and files related to Duplicator are all “normal”: 755 for folders,
   644 for files.
 * Checking the package log (link at the bottom of the Build Status window)) does
   not help; I get the log from the previous, successful build, Feb 13. Clicking
   the Support link gives a WordPress error message that I have insufficient rights
   to access the page (<website url>//wp-admin/admin.php?page=duplicator-support).
 * I double-checked: the Duplicator settings have not been changed since my last
   successful backup. Cache and wp-snapshots folders were (and are) of course excluded
   from the backup.
 * Trying again, as suggested, gives the same result.
 * I have seen support messages about build interrupts due to timeouts, but I cannot
   imagine that that is the case here:
    - nothing essential has been changed to the size of the website files or database
      during the last week
    - the error message comes immediately
    - the error texts suggest a different cause
    - there is only a _scan.json file in wp-snapshots/tmp, no other files have been
      created yet
 * Do you have any idea what can be wrong here? Any help would be very much appreciated!
 * Best regards,
    Henk Barreveld

 * Hey Henk,
 * Yeah if it fails immediately then its not a timeout issue. In your case it looks
   like a WordPress Roles Privileges issue. Are you setup as a WordPress Administrator
   on that site?
 * Thanks~

 * Hi Cory,
    \ Thank you for your quick reaction. Yes, the account I use is the 
   admin account (although it is not called “admin”). I use it also to install theme
   updates and plugins, for example.

 * Yeah that is quite strange… Have you tried to log in/out to see if it resets 
   any of your cookies. Maybe try and clear the browser history… I don’t think I
   have seen this one before, not 100% sure where to look.

 * Hi Guys
 * After a quick google, I ended up here – the only hit – I am seeing this error
   for the first time too (although only an occasional Duplicator user).

 * And I am wondering if it might be caused by a recent security plugin update –
   maybe Sucuri, or Wordfence, or Bullet Proof Security ? (I am using all these 
   on my site, and they have frequent updates).
 * **Henk **– I wonder if you are using one or more of these security plugins too?

 * I’m getting this too. Feels to me like something has changed recently, perhaps
   in Core(?) which has affected the plugin?

 * Hi Cory (and other people),
 * I tried all kinds of things; definitely also clearing the browser history and
   logging in again.
 * Below is my most recent test. This is becoming weirder and weirder…
 * The site I have this problem with, is on SiteGround (shared hosting, lowest price
   category). I happen to have another, completely separate account at the same 
   ISP, which I am not using seriously. On that other account I did the following:
 *  – Verified in cPanel that SuperCacher and Cloudflare are disabled
    – Created
   a brand new, not earlier used subdomain – Created a new MySQL database – Downloaded
   the WordPress 4.1 installer from the WordPress site (my last successful Duplicator
   run, a little more than a week ago, was on WP 4.1) – Created and configured wp-
   config (database settings, keys & salts, added a line “define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’,
   false );” so that the installation would not immediately auto-upgrade to WP 4.1.1)–
   Copied the files to the new subdomain folder – Ran the installer job, selecting
   the language (NL) and setting up the admin login – Verified that the site (only
   containing the single, standard post with its single comment) is indeed working–
   Installed Duplicator – Ran Duplicator – SAME PROBLEM!
 * So: test with a brand new site, no security or caching, no other plugins that
   could be in the way.
 * I am starting to wonder if SiteGround did something last week to cause Duplicator
   not to work anymore… I have asked their advice as well.
 * Anybody any ideas?!

 * Great work, Henk ! 🙂
 * So that rules out any security plugins, and interesting that I am also on a cheap
   Siteground hosting package (coincidence ?) In fact, I was only wanting to use
   Duplicator for a quick site snapshot backup, as I’ve been getting so many server
   time-outs recently with my usual WP backups.

 * Hello everybody,
 * Problem solved 🙂
 * I sent a message describing my last test to SiteGround Support at around the 
   same time I sent message #7 above.
 * First reply, after a few minutes:
 * > There are no changes with our security settings for our shared servers.
 * … but they would look into it further, using the admin login I gave them.
 * Half an hour later a support guy sent me the below message with a solution:
 * > I have checked and noticed that the issue was caused by a security rule of 
   > one of our modules.
   > I have added the following to the .htaccess file in your home folder to deactivate
   > the problematic rule for your entire account:
   >     ```
   >     <IfModule mod_security.c>
   >     SecFilterRemove 001838
   >     </IfModule>
   >     ```
   > 
   > I have then performed another test and the issue was resolved.
 * I checked as well, also on the “real” website; The Duplicator Build process is
   working again.
 * By the way, wonderful service, if you ask me. I only have the lowest price shared
   hosting account without any additional support options.

 * Nice one, Henk – thanks for the update.
 * I do wonder though if this is introducing a (slight) vulnerability ? (And also
   a bit of a nuisance, having to do apply this workaround to many sites).

 * Hi Henk,
 * Thanks for your info. However, I’ve put the exact code in .htaccess file but 
   still experiencing the same problem you had 🙁
 * Any other suggestion that you could give me?
 * thanks and in advance.

 * [@photomaldives](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photomaldives/) – No, i 
   host it in digitalOcean.com.
 * My other installations in the same machine had no issue. The issue happen in 
   a new site that im working on using WP 4.1.1 and latest Duplicator plugin installed.

 * [@photomaldives](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photomaldives/):
 * Yes, I also wondered if disabling rule 1838 in mod_security would create any 
   security risks. However, I decided that I would take the risk, assuming that 
   the ISP’s support team knows what they are doing.
 * It would of course be best if Cory could take a look at his code, to see if it
   does anything (maybe setting permissions higher temporarily?) that could cause
   a mod_security firewall to protest.
 * [@cory](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cory/):
 * Does the above make sense to you? I tried to find out from SiteGround support
   what their rule 1838 is about but, understandably I suppose, they are somewhat
   evasive on that issue 🙂
 * [@marwazihs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marwazihs/):
 * I recommend doing what the error message recommends you to do (if you indeed 
   get the same error message):
 * > …contact your host support team and provide detailed instructions how to recreate
   > this error.
   >  They will be able to assist you with rectifying the problem and
   > adjusting the security configuration if needed.
 * I wish I had done that myself, rather than spending hours trying to find if I
   had done something wrong.

 * There are some calls to chmod that the plugin tries to make on behalf of the 
   environment. This might be what is causing the issue/alert to happen. I would
   have create an option to allow this to be turned on/off if that was the underlying
   issue…

   I really love this plugin and have been using it in the last 1.5 years without
   issue. Look forward for the solution 🙂
