    I am trying to install a site for my client on Ipage. I keep getting this everytime. I have looked for hours trying to figure this out as well as put in a ticket with their support almost 2 1/2 hours ago and have got no reply. I have spent days getting this they way the client wants it on my server now it looks like I will have to install wordpress using Ipages simple script and redo the whole thing that is going to take a few hours instead of the 5 mins it will take using the duplicator.

  • Why not just copy the site manually? Usually takes me about 5 minutes to do so ??

    Dev Site:
    – export database
    – ZIP up the contents of the WP install folder

    Client Site:
    – create new, empty db and import the exported dev .sql file
    – edit the siteurl and home fields in the wp_options table with the client url
    – upload and extract the ZIP where it belongs
    – edit the client wp-config.php with the client db credentials
    – upload, run this script to update the links to the client url, then delete it when done:

    Thanks but I got it after support got back to me hours later. So for anyone using Ipage they do not allow you to install wordpress (or I am guessing any other CMS) to the root folder I had to put it in a sub folder then it installed fine.

    Allen, I’m having the same issue with iPage & Duplicator! After creating a sub folder, the folder name became a permanent part of my url. Worse, the url doesn’t work without the folder name tacked on:

    https://erinholmberg.com/portfolio/

    I named the sub folder “portfolio” so that it doesn’t look like a glaring mistake. ?? Sadly, erinholmberg.com doesn’t work alone, and redirects don’t work.

    Did this happen to you? Do you have suggestions? Any info you have would be very appreciated! ??

    You have to change the perma links stuff to remove the subfolder from the address and have it work. I will see if I can find the video I used and post a link here for you.

    Thank you! I ended up contacting iPage customer service, and they fixed it for me. haha. That video is really useful.

    Thanks again!
