Not compatible with latest WordPress

Hey Apache39,

Can you help us out with the types of errors your seeing from the error log. We have had pretty solid reports from the field with it working well with the latest version… Feel free to submit a support ticket if you need to post the entire log…

Thanks

I don’t know what about your error. Mine is that installer.php doesn’t work. And the reason is that it’s saved as a BINARY file!!

I can do nothing without installer.php

Apache39,

Duplicator still compatible with the latest WP.
This week I just move 3 websites using duplicator.
Only one website has some broken link, the other websites working fine.

Hey Sebastian,

You can get a copy of the installer from the wp-snapshots folder. As to why its coming down as a binary file, this probably has something to do with how the web server is setup with mime-types, I would double check with your host they might have some clues…

Cheers~

You’re right Cory! I tested it out on my live hosting and it works fine.

So the problem is WAMP on my local machine. I didn’t think about it because it used to work fine so far. My workflow is always this: develop locally then use duplicator to migrate on production.

Strange, I didn’t change any wamp setting/module. Anyway here’s the installer.php

Thanks for your reply

Is the same installer.php file in your wp-snapshots folder binary, or does it only show as binary after you try to download it from the packages screen after clicking on the button?

This is the one I get clicking on the button. I can’t see any installer.php in my wp-snapshot directory.

Well, inside the zip archive I can see a working installer-backup.php

The installer file will be hashed. It will look something like this:

20150702_itsplugintime_559558b7641632396150702152855_installer.php

It is most likely that there is something on the web server that is forcing the mime type to be binary, or it could also be compressing it (such as gzip) and that is how its coming down the wire vs showing up as ASCII/utf8 like a regular text file…

If the file in the wp-snapshots is generic PHP text/code then its defintily something at the web server layer that is pushing the file down to where it looks like its binary.

Hi Cory,
Using
Duplicator Version 0.5.22
Wordpress 4.22
Desktopserver Premium 3.6.2
Mavericks OS

In DesktopServer:
Error Cleanse Error 1115 (42000) at line 6:
Unknown Character set ‘utf8bm4’

On WP install at top
Warning: mysql_set_charset(): Error executing query in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/www.artsweb-vfm.dev/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 781

Is this a Duplicator issue or a DesktopServer issue?

Thanks Seb

Hey Seb,

It look like the database your using may not support that character set…
see this similar thread.

Thanks~
