Restore error: “Could not write to new host”

    Hey, I got 2 hosts.

    HostA is hosting a functional wordpress server while HostB is a fresh installation of ubuntu with apache, php7.2 and mysql installed (no wordpress though..).

    I want to migrate my wordpress server from HostA to HostB. I went to HostA >> restore backups and downloaded the script, put it inside HostB and copied the route to HostB’s xcloner_restore.php file(https://www.xxxxx.com/xcloner_restore.php) to the restore backup menu in HostA.

    i Click on “check connection” on HostA and get “Could not write to new host”.. I thought maybe it’s because my server didn’t have an HTTPS certificate.. after I did it on my second host, the issue is still the same.

    This is what the script is look like when I load it inside my web browser:
    {“status”:”404″,”statusText”:”Could not run restore script, sent HASH is empty!”,”error”:true,”message”:”Could not run restore script, sent HASH is empty!”}

    can anyone help me out? thanks.

  • The “Could not write to new host”. means the restore script is unable to write files within it’s folder, it needs writeable permissions in order to do it’s migration, you can reset them afterwards.
