[Plugin: WordPress Move] fopen errors

    Any time I try to do anything with the plugin, I get the following errors, and nothing else happens:

    Warning: fopen(/***************/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/DBBackup-13349346051.sql) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /***************/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/libs/functions-database-backup.php on line 71

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /***************/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/libs/functions-database-backup.php on line 138

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /***************/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/libs/functions-database-backup.php on line 139

    Seems like it’s looking for an old backup for some reason, but I haven’t created one yet.

    (Edit: I just noticed that the file name changes every time I make an attempt. This last time it was looking for “DBBackup-13349348401.sql”)

    Also, it never asks me for my ftp password, though I’m not sure at what point it’s supposed to do that. Maybe it’s just not getting to that point due to the errors.

    The backup directory (and its sub directories) under the wordpress-move directory needs to be writable by your web server as the warning suggests (Permission denied).

    The main part of backup files’ names are generated using the time() function, so yes, it changes.

    FTP Password is only needed when you use the Migrate option on the Migration Assistant page.

    Thanks ??

    Changing the directory permissions didn’t seem obvious to me 1) because it appeared to be looking for a specific file, which did not exist and 2) because I thought the backup directory would be the one I specified in the settings page.

    I changed the permissions, and the backup ran, but now I have over 2000 “backups” listed in the Backup Manager page. Any idea what happened?

    Navigate to Settings > WordPress Move and set the Chunk Size setting under the File Backup Settings section, to 20 or something like that. If the problem persists, try setting it to 0, because for some strange reason, this particular setting work in the opposite way on some systems.

    I had already set it to 0 for unlimited, as I always want the backup to be a single archive, but I guess that setting doesn’t work on my system.

    I changed it to 500mb instead, as I don’t see the site ever being that large, and that setting seemed to work.

    Thanks for all the help ??
