Corrupted zipped package folder after download
-
After several successful migrations… a failure!
I downloaded the Package and Installer, and uploaded them to the remote destination.
When I ran the installer, on the first step it gave a 200 error with no explication. I had pre-removed the wp-config file ahead of time because I new the installer would tell me to anyway if I didn’t, and figured that was probably the problem.
I reinstalled the wp-config file, and ran the installer again.
The 200 error came up again, this time telling me to remove the wp-config file (go figure).
I re-removed the wp-config file. ??
This time the installer said it could not find the package. With a suggestion that I could attempt a manual installation.
When I attempted to extract the package on the server, it said:
Archive: /home2/XXXXXXX/public_html/XXXXXXX/51a21f322627c3598_20130526_XXXXXXX_package.zip

a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on

Extraction Location: /public_html/XXXXXXXXI tried to unzip the package on my computer. Windows and 7zip said that the directory was empty. I knew it wasn’t empty because the darn thing took 10 minutes to download.
I created a new package on the original site.
I successfully extracted it on the server.
I downloaded the zipped package but ended up with the same result.
Back to the old fashioned way…
I compressed the site folder on the server and downloaded it.
Used WP Migrate DB to get a migrateable (my new word of the day ?? db.
Uploaded the site folder to the remote server and extracted it.
Installed new db with phpmyadmin.
Vuala! It it’s up and running.
