Wordpress Backupbuddy transfer fails
Wordpress Backupbuddy transfer fails
Hi all,
This is my first post and I must say that VestaCP is great since looks like everything is working out of the box which is not the case with zPanel. So great job...
I have one esential problem, which if I don't solve, everiything is useless. I and doing Wordpress installations only and after site is done, i transfer it using Backupbuddy, since manual transfer (replacing urls in sql file of the database and changing variables in WP config files) doesn't work 100% in most of the cases.
But when i try to import site with importbuddy.php tool i get fatal error.
The backupbuddy works with some installations but with other it doesn't.
The error is like php max_execution_time but this is not the case becouse after i increase the time, i get the same error.
I think the problem is in lenth of somethink, like the limit of 16 characters in database creation for user, there is probably limit of some kind. The whole backupbuddy file is 30MB. It imports on hostgator shared account in few seconds.

Re: Wordpress Backupbuddy transfer fails
I suggest restoring your site manually.. files and database... I've done it many times it does not give me errors.... most of my websites are wordpress and I always do manual restore every time I transfer my sites into a different server
Re: Wordpress Backupbuddy transfer fails
Thank you for advice. You probably understand this more then me. I am playing with WP installations for a year now.
...I don't know how i can't manage the site to work via manual transfer since i replace all the urls in database, and old the variables in config files - still site is not 100% operational. Only backupbuddy done this perfectly.
So in Backupbuddy transfer via importbuddy.php tool, i extract files sucessfully but on importing database - fatal error.
I know that's becouse the long name of the folder in which i puted working version of the site in my main site's public_html folder, like public_html/addon-hvar-sucuraj-toplak, becouse if i put some short name like public_html/hvar
then when i backup the site and then import it in some users public_html folder, in other database - works perfectly fine.
I tested this. So i know that it's the lenght of the folder.
I will never use the long site name - but I must manage current site, in which i invested a lot of work and i need money, which i will get after the site is online...
So that's probably some variable in some config file. Lenght of something related to databaese :]

Re: Wordpress Backupbuddy transfer fails
you don't have to replace any URL's if your using the same domain name when you transfer into a new host
all you have to change is the wp-config.php file with your new database information

Re: Wordpress Backupbuddy transfer fails
if you are transferring a single site (not multi site) then try Duplicator (WP plugin). I use it all the time with Vestacp with no problems, you can set the new url if it's changing and also switch off all the plugins for the install and then reactivate them once you have logged into the new sites admin area (prevents a lot of issues with moving WP sites with cache etc).
