Hi Cory,

Thank you very much for being so prompt with your replies!
It seems there is a DB issue when it comes to run the Duplicator installer with GoDaddy hosting. Previously with Hostgator, all was just fine.

What I did, I uploaded the zip package to the remote site, created the database manually, changed the wp-options siteurl and home tabs in phpmyadmin to the new website url from localhost, in the wp-config file all was fine, correct database and user name were listed. After this, the site is now uploaded and runs fine.

Probably this can be the solution for others also facing this issue with GoDaddy.

Thanks once again, and great job with the Duplicator plugin!

Have a great weekend! ??

Anybody who faced the same problem and got a solution, please share it with us.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting, I just saw this thread and I also have the same problem with GoDaddy DB.

I had no problems using Duplicator when I migrated my site hosted with Hostgator.

Hi Cory!

I have tried to upload the database manually, meaning exported from my localhost php myadmin and uploaded it onto the hosting as recommended, but now I am getting the message that Duplicator can only work with empty database (and as I already uploaded mine it has 18 tables), but than I dont understand why it was recommended on the first place. ??

If I set the option to connect and remove all data, than I go back to my old error msg as wp-config.php already exists in this location.

Grrrrrrrrrr, I have no idea whats going on, I am stuck.

Please please help me! ??

Thank you so much!

Thank you Cory!

Unfortunately, I am still getting the same error msg, even though I restarted MAMP, cleared the cache and also tried with Safari instead of Firefox.

First I got a msg that database creation failed. But if that was the case when I am testing the connection for MySQL database it should fail, but it is passing. Afterwards I kept getting the same error msg like before.

I have even uploaded everything directly with the File Manager built into the Cpanel to eliminate any problems with FileZilla, so under mywebsite.com I have both the installer.php file and the zip package.

Any other idea what the problem can be?

Thank you very much once again Cory!
