    Hi,
    we have trouble creating the Archive file by Duplicator. The build process stopps as showon in the log file excerpt below.

    The Provider Support (1&1, Germany) told us there is apparently a problem in the path setting. Duplicator uses the path
    /hompages/…
    but it should be
    /kunden/homepages/…

    Does anyone know how and where to correct this path setting, please?
    I have not yet found such a feature in Duplicator.

    Thank you!

  • This looks like its a host specific issue to 1 and 1 hosting.

    On 1and1 they have set Apache and PHP to have different roots. The Apache root starts with /kunden, the PHP root starts with /homepages.

    So in PHP a path like /homepages/xx/dxxxxxxxx/htdocs/site1/index.html would be /kunden/homepages/xx/dxxxxxxxx/htdocs/site1/index.html in Apache.

    The Duplicator uses the core wordpress constant ABSPATH. It won’t be a good idea to change this value because it works on 99% of most hosts. What you can do is open up the define.php file inside the Duplicators plugins path and change this line:

    define(‘DUPLICATOR_WPROOTPATH’, str_replace(“\\”, “/”, ABSPATH));

    to match 1&1’s setup process. Have you tried this in WP 4.0 there may have been an additional patch to reconcile the differences…

    Hi Cory,

    Thank you for the hint!

    We updated to WP 4.0 but there is no change to this issue.

    Unfortunately I am not so familiar with PHP (I come from the C++ world) for being able to change the define correctly.
    But we currently move from shared hosting to a dedicated Server at 1&1. Hopefully the path issue will be gone then.

    Thank you!
    Peter

    No problem… Good Luck!
