[Plugin: WP Complete Backup] 500 error message

  • when I run a backup I get a 500 error. The backup is saved in the storage folder, but afterwards, I’m getting the error message, The website is hosted by godaddy.com. I am wondering if it is corrupt. It seems like a lot of trouble to set up a new sub-domain install just to test the backup. If this is typical and there is nothing to worry, please let me know. If you think there is a problem, let me know also.
    Thanks

  • I’m also getting this exact error (also hosted on godaddy). The file is being created, but I don’t know how reliable it would be if it was restored. Please let me know if this is something to be concerned about.

    I also get this message though I’m hosted by 123-reg. I need to know if the backup will work as I’m about to change servers.

    Now that you have to move it to a new server, you can test it. When I wrote this post I was hoping that someone had already experienced this problem and had an answer. So if your new server install works then please let us know. I had this problem with wp-complete-backup. Another problem with that plugin is that I can’t find a way to do scheduled backups. I think I found a better plugin. I’m going to try backWPup plugin. It has scheduled backups and I think you can tell it to put a backup on your server and send one to dropbox which is what I want. So there you have it. Actually When I want to move to a different server I find it easer to just install wp on the new server, delete the wp-content file, Download my original or existing website wp-content file and upload it to the new server. Then I delete all the tables in the new install’s database. Then I backup the database with phpmyadmin and import it to the new install. Then you have to change the database username, password and maybe a few other things in the wp-config file. It’s not to hard to figure out, but It might be fore someone who’s new to wp, or databases.
