    So, I messed up a site I was working on, updating it to 4.7.2 didn’t help, but I had made a Duplicator package prior to this. Now trying to restore the site on a different server is a big deal I’ve been working on for 3 hours.

    Host: Success
    Database: Fail
    Version: This Server: [5.6.28] — Package Server: [10.0.28]

    This has never happened to me before. Would a manual restore be better for this?

    HELP! 🙂

    Thanks in advance,

    Andre

    Hey @styzer,

    Thanks for the feedback! There are a few items on the FAQ that may provide a solution with this issue, this one may get you going. If not at the bottom of the FAQ is a script that you can copy and run to validate if the params your using are correct. The installer basically uses code very similar to the example:

        – I’m running into issues with the Database what can I do?

    Let me know if any of them help~

    RESOLVED. For the first time in ever I forgot to link the db with user and set privileges. All good now.

    Could I ask another question. Duplicator works great to clone a site to a different server or folder. But what if I wanted to restore a package on the same server, in the same folder, without deleting 3 years of work before I know it will show correctly? Like using Duplicator as a backup plugin in case the site would have issues. Is there a quick was to restore the package? I don’t want the site to be offline for more than a few minutes.

    Thanks!

    Hey Styzer,

    Good to hear you got it ironed out!

    Duplicator doesn’t handle that exact scenario, but you could probably get close by
    running the archive and installer in a separate sub-directory on a separate test database, check that everything looks good. Then do it in the primary directory.

    Cheers~

    I was able to do it, although I ran in strange issues with redirections. But all is back to normal now!

    Thanks for the help,
