Can’t restore…

Hey,

Are you trying to restore at the same server ?

WBR,
Alex

I did move the site to a cloud server but this backup was run on the new server. The backups seem to be working properly.

Have you configured ‘mysql’ and ‘destination’ forms at the top ?

Hi.

I Have the same problem with restore on another server.
Now I’m trying to restore my backup on local server (open server)
I changed data in backup file code (put my db, user, pass …)
At least my screen with backup started to work and site like starting to recover. In a few secs button go to site appears and there I receive an error (Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_multisite() in C:\OpenServer\domains\knittons.loc\index.php on line 86).

I think I really need your help (I could not do it for more than 2 days). If possible please contact me to [email protected]

p.s. what do you mean here – “Have you configured ‘mysql’ and ‘destination’ forms at the top ?”

Oleg, I’ve contacted you via email. Please check spam folder in case you have not received an email from me

Thank you
WBR,
Alex

I didn’t configure those settings. I thought that was only needed for migration to new server. Do I need to configure them? The settings aren’t automatic?

@jwest100, are you using Windows servers ?

Hopefully wordpress will deliver this message successfully

No I’m on a Linux apache nginx server.

Any word on what is going on with the restore page links/buttons not working?

No, not yet. Can you please contact me at [email protected] if you mind sharing the link to the backup ?

Emailed the link and info.

Varnish cache was the reason of the problem. Disabling Varnish cache resolved the issue. Workarounds for this are being developed

Thank you James !

Thanks again!

Hi

I am also having a restore problem.
The previous site I created had to be deleted as I made a mistake whilst trying to fix http to https links.

Now, the backup does not want to restore. I am using Cloudflare.
Website https://hiresa.org.

When clicking rstore the login screen opens.
The username is the same for the old website and the new.
The only diffrence is the password.

I have treid both passwords and neither one of them wants to move on to the next screen where sql data is to be entered.

Could you please assist?
