blank page running installer.php

    I’ve been using Duplicator for a couple of years now and it is by far my favourite plugin. However it’s suddenly stopped working. I create a new package on my localhost server with no problem and I can ftp the zip file and installer.php up to the remote server just fine.

    But when I visit installer.php in chrome, whilst it finds the page, it’s just blank. There’s no source html. I asked my host (who run php 5.3.3) to examine their server log files they get the following error:

    PHP Parse Error: Syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting T_FUNCTION installer.php line 316.

    Any help gratefully received. I’m running latest version of Duplicator.

  • Hey Kevleitch,

    It looks like you may have a corrupted installer file. Did you FTP directly from your wp-snapshots folder on your localhost or did you happen to download it from the Packages screen?

    Cheers~

    Hi Cory, thanks for the reply.

    I tried it both ways. Downloading from within WP Admin and then FTPing down from wp-snapshots. Both ways give the same result – just a blank page. I’ve also tried creating a new package but I get the same – just a blank page.

    Thanks.

    Maybe try and create another package… If the problem is consistently repeatable, then you can submit a ticket and I’ll have a look at it…

    Well now things have gone very odd.

    I tried uninstalling Duplicator via WP Admin, then deleting the directory completely and then reinstalling it. Now I can create a package with a perfect scan result, download both zip and installer.php and yes, once uploaded via FTP, installer.php now works!

    Sadly, I now have a new issue. When I run the installer I get thousands of deploy errors. Upon checking the installer log I have various database errors, from SQL syntax errors to non existent table names. Here’s a couple of examples:

    ‘**ERROR** database error write ‘Table ‘devboxlabcouk_aa.wpoknle_ac’ doesn’t exist’ – [sql=INSERT INTO wpoknle_ac VALUES(“139”, “cms_tpv_settiio”, “0.8.13”, “yes”)…]’

    and

    ‘**ERROR** database error write ‘You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘menu-top\”:\”TTQwLrole_access\6;s:8on\”;i:5;s:6:\”parent\”;N;s:9:\”css_class\”;N’ at line 1′ – [sql=INSERT INTO wp_options VALUES(“136”, “ws_menu_editor”, “a:14:{s:22:\”hide…]’

    I’d like to reiterate that this website works perfectly on my WAMP driven localhost. Once again, any help very gratefully received.

    EDIT: If you need to see the whole installer log, let me know and I’ll mail it to you.

    Thanks

    You probably have an incompatibility between your MySQL versions. You might try the mysqldump from the settings page to see if that works SQL script that is generated works…
