Duplicator not working correctly and no errors given

    Hello and thanks for a great plugin!

    I have recently moved to a new server, and since that i cannot use duplicator. I create a package from one server with duplicator, which i then copy over to the new server.. Running the installer.php doesnt give me any errors but the process is completed rather fast, and after its completion i notice that only a few files have been extracted, and no db entries have been created. I checked the install log from duplicator, which shows what seems to be read/write problems inside the folder, however i have given the root folder permissions of 777 so this should not be a problem.. I am quite blank at what to do here.. Can you guys assist?

    Heres where i get some error in the log in “Archive setup”

    ERROR: Unable to read from the extracted database.sql file .
Validate the permissions and/or group-owner rights on directory '/var/www/vhosts/(blankedout)...'

ERROR: Unable to create new sql file installer-data.sql.
Validate the permissions and/or group-owner rights on directory '/var/www/vhosts/(blankedout)...' and file 'installer-data.sql'

    Since i have set chmod to 777 at this root folder i have no idea what might be causing this .. The archive is not damaged or anything as i’ve tried out the archive on the server which i copy it from under a new subdomain which works fine.

    Its by using the newest duplicator plugin version 0.5.1..

    Hey Da9L,

    You will want to update to 0.5.2 as it is the latest, also checkout this section on the FAQs I believe it may help with this issue:
    -> Browse to: https://lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq
    -> Find section: “3. Troubleshoot=> Permission & System Issues”

    What you are probably missing is setting up the correct group/owner permissions with the command chown

    Hope that helps!
