Resilient Business Systems

Hi there

Just thought I would update you all that I managed to fix my own problem. For whatever reason I/a plugin/something had create a lot of large plczip[random characters].gz files within the wp-admin subdirectory and therefore this plugin was attempting to back these up within the migration, and obviously taking a very long time, and I assume then timing out.

I figured this out as the plugin would not even create a backup, never mind using the migration part of the plugin, so for all those experiencing similar issues here was my diagnostics

* Using FTP program, logged on to the source domain, and navigated to the \wp-content\plugins\wordpress-move\backup subfolder
* Using the WordPress Move plugin, initiated the full backup routine
* Watched the zip files getting created
* Wait, Wait and Wait some more, and in my case, the 2nd zip file was very large
* Via the FTP program, downloaded this large zip file to my local computer
* Extracted the zip file, and searched through to determine where the large files were
* Again, in my case, within the wp-admin folder, there were the large pclzip files
* Back to the FTP program, I navigated to this folder, and removed all the pclzip files
* Back to the WordPress Move plugin, and performed a full backup again, and this worked successfully
* Deleted all the backup files, and then performed a successful migration ??

I hope the above helps other people, who may be experiencing similar issues.

Cheers
Andy
