I tried one last time by manually copying the files over to the new server, then matched the DNS and adjusted the DB credentials. This loaded the home page but no othere. To fix that I had to adjust .htaccess and /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, edit AllowOverride None for /var/www/ to AllowOverride All. Now the only problem left is the /wp-admin wont load.

Just an update, I know this isn’t a WP support forum ??

Hi Cory,

Thank you for the offer but we don’t have a purchased licence and the deploy is integrated in our AWS infrastructure so I am unable to provide access, without which there’s nothing anyone can do. I’m going to have to give up on adding the site to AWS and find another solution. I’m quite surprised I couldn’t get this to work considering I moved so much of out backend services behind load balancers etc. without any problem.

Regards,
Chris

Thanks for the reply.
As soon as I run the installer.php it unpacks the new folder dup-installer and then stops because it trys to reload without the https.
Also the file dup-installer-bootlog__somelog.txt tells the permissions on the folder and files need to be set. I set everything to 777 and try again with

• https://mydomain.com/dup-installer/main.installer.php

which does load the Duplicator Step 1 of 4: Deployment. It proceeds to unpack the files and returns 504 Gateway Time-out I cannot get the process to proceed to Step 2 of 4. I will look at your linked timeout info but at a glance none of that applied.
