    Hi, My site is hosted on SiteGround Shared hosting, with a wildcard SSL.
    I was getting 504 errors when trying to create a package earlier, and contacted my host. They have came back with the following reply:

    Currently for the SSL to work we have the following symlinks:
    …..
    When I remove them the plugin starts to work just fine, So I can suggest that there is some incompatibility with the plugin working with a wild card SSL. You can either remove the SSL from the site or contact the plugin developers for more information on this.

    Any thoughts or suggestions for this??
    Thanks.

  • Hi WPNI,

    That is quite strange. I had a wildcard cert on one of my servers and never had an issue with the plugin. To be honest I’m not really sure what I can do, the issue seems to be related to there setup, especially when getting 500 errors.

    Did you see any clues in the PHP or Apache logs?

    Hey Cory,
    This is the only logs I can see…

    [Tue Jul 28 09:59:24 2015] [warn] [client MYIPADDRESS] Timeout waiting for output from CGI script /home/******/public_html/******/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, referer: https://******.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=duplicator&tab=new2
    [Tue Jul 28 09:58:54 2015] [warn] [client MYIPADDRESS] Timeout waiting for output from CGI script /home/******/public_html/******/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, referer: https://******.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=duplicator&tab=new2

    The timeout is set to max, so I can’t think of anything else to do.
    I took a manual ‘clone’ via FTP & PHPMyAdmin – and editing the SQL file before importing locally in the Vagrant setup.
    I was then able to make changes, and successfully create a ‘Duplicator’ archive for uploading to the site – with no creation or deployment issues.
    So it does indicate a problem on the SiteGround server, or with their wildcard SSL setup.

    On the SiteGround site you might try an create a top level directory filter just to see if that works, kinda running out of ideas…
