Restore no longer working

    I’d been using wp-clone to recreate a copy of a site for testing new features which had been immensely useful.

    Out of the blue the restore process finished with this copy site indicating that it had not been set up.
    Attempts to access the webtroot redirect to /wp-admin/install.php as do attempts to access /wp-admin/
    Some parts of the restore are working, for example the plugins from the original are installed but none are activated…

    Any ideas what may be causing this?

    that’s odd.. I mean,it could happen,we ran into a similar problem last week,and I’ve added some error checks to the next version to avoid such issues. but it’s a bit weird when it happens on a server which had no issues before.
    anyways,basically,the current version has no error checks in place to make sure that the database file actually exists on the server,so the database importer ends up dropping every table in the current database and then fills it with nothing,WP sees an empty database so it prompts you to do the installation.

    Awesome!

    So do you suggest a course of action?

    So have found these PHP error messages :

    It looks like the zip file isn’t being extracted properly

    yeah,looks like a folder with the same name already exists on the server,or,at least I think that’s what’s happening.
    anyhow,click “advanced settings” link and check “alternate zip method” and hit restore,iirc the pclzip library overwrites older files during extraction so it just might work.
