    Hi,

    I got everything setup right I think, but I keep receiving this message while pushing data from the live to the development site(subdomain):

    RUN: echo “<?php \$upgrading=1362137055; ?>” > /home/user/domains/domain/public_html/dev/.maintenance
    Could not fork: echo “” > /home/user/domains/domain/public_html/dev/.maintenance

    (I replaced user and domain above for security and privacy reasons)

    The pushing stops afetr this message.

    Any idea on how to solve this? If I get this to work this is one of the best and most usefull plugins!! Thanks in advance.

    Does your server support the PHP ‘popen’ command? If not, or if it is restricted in some way, that might be causing the error.

    If you are able to make a small change to the plugin code, could you try changing line 513 of classes/class-sitepush-plugin.php from
    $my_push->echo_output = TRUE;
    to
    $my_push->echo_output = FALSE;

    If that does sort the problem, I’ll put a more robust change in place for the next release.

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for your response. We started using another plugin to migrate our websites, so we won’t be able to test this anymore since we removed sitepush from our wp installs. However, thanks for coming up with a solution. I do know that popen command is standard disabled on our hosting.

    Thanks for letting me know. I’ll see if I can add some checks in the next version, so at least people get more friendly error messages in cases like this.
