No Install file – no way to recreate

    Hi there! I have an install file from a couple of years ago, but without the install.php. Unlike the other help article though, the site is gone so I cannot recreate the install.php file with duplicator. I have install files for other sites, and can see the constants I need. I *think* I can get the package_hash from the first pack of the zip package, but I do not know how to retrieve the secondary_package_hash. Is there a way to find that so that I can recreate the install file?
    Thanks!

    Hi @kndh13,

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    Please follow the instructions in this page to get the original installer.php of the backup:
    https://duplicator.com/knowledge-base/how-to-get-the-original-installer-that-came-with-the-archive/

    When you extract the installer.php, it will be in this format:
    [BACKUP_HASH]_installer-backup.php, please rename the installer to installer.php and rename the backup archive to [BACKUP_HASH]_archive.zip or [BACKUP_HASH]_archive.daf

    After proceeding with the above, you can start the backup restoration by calling https://your-website-url/installer.php

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks!

    I looked into the .zip file as the instructions you linked said, but there is no backup installer file in it. ?? It just looks like a regular wordpress install with the exception of a .sql file.

    Hi?@kndh13,

    The screenshot is too small. Can you please provide me with a clear one?
