This is a very simple move. I am migrating from one directory to another on the same server. <\/p>\n
When running the Migrate function of the Migration Assistant, I get numerous Scrip Error messages. This is more of a nuisance than anything else, as the script seems to be quite potent. It temporally freezes the browser. In a few seconds, everything is fine, and a list of files and folders to be transferred is displayed.<\/p>\n
The migration process seems to run smoothy, and is very fast. But the size of the 2 zipped folders that end up in the backup folder of the remote directory are only about 4.5MB. My site is about 40MB (the sql file is about 8MB). <\/p>\n
When I complete the migration, a start page is displayed on the front end, but if any link is clicked, a blank page comes up with: “Error establishing a database connection”<\/p>\n
If I go back to the Plugins window in the backend (of the romote site), there is a list of plugins, each in their own little section that reads: “The plugin (name of plugin)\/plugin.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.” If I open the plugins folder of the site, there are no plugin folders other than for Move WordPress.<\/p>\n
When I run a Complete a Full Backup, in the Backup Manager (of the original installation), it produces 5 zipped folders that add up to about 40MB. When I run the migration process without any backups in the Backup Manager, it only produces 2 zipped folders that only add up to about 7MB. If I run the migration process, after running a complete backup and leaving those folders there, the migration process duplicates the 5 zipped folders that also add up to about 40MB.<\/p>\n
But no matter the number of folders in the Backup Manager at the time of migration, no plugin folders are migrated, only 2 zipped folders end up in the destination backup folder (at about 7MB), no plugin folders are migrated, and I get the db connection error. (In all cases, the plugin folders do show up in the list of files and folders to be migrated in the migration setup window.)<\/p>\n
