Could not read file

  • When I search the whole directory or everything under wp-content I get the error:
    Could not read file: /nas/content/live/destinyarts/wp-content/mysql.sql #

    Here’s what the results page looks like: https://imgur.com/a/MhrWQmu

    Any ideas what’s going on?

    WP: Version 5.1.1
    String: Version 2.3.1

    Thanks!

    Hiya,

    So the very first thought I have is “oh no”, you should definitely not have that file in your wp-content folder, that appears to be a database backup file I am guessing.

    The error comes up because the plugin can’t read the file like it wants to, SQL backups can be rather large, and it’s not unlikely that it’s failing to read it due to size, or because of some permission issues with the web user vs content user.

    If you don’t use the file, I would recommend removing it, or at least moving it away from your WordPress folder (to /nas/content/live or further, but definitely nowhere inside nas/content/live/destinyarts)
