There is not enough space available on the disk

    I’ve been using All-in-One WP Migration for sometime now and it’s an awesome tool!

    I’m trying to upload my WordPress site I made on my local machine, but I get the following error message when I try to upload it:

    There is not enough space available on the disk.

    This hardly makes any sense because I’m currently on the Basic Managed WordPress Websites plan on GoDaddy which has up to 30GB of storage.

    I’ve researched this on the web, but I haven’t found a solid solution to this problem. People have suggested to export the database and files separately, but this also didn’t work because GoDaddy also has file upload restrictions.

    I’ve been using All-in-One WP Migration for a lot of sites and I find it’s helpful for WordPress developers because it’s less error-prone when launching WordPress sites. However, I’m struggling with GoDaddy and what I can do to resolve the problem.

    I’ve also tried contacting GoDaddy technical services and they suggested I create a php.ini file and insert these contents:

    file_uploads = On
post_max_size = 192M
upload_max_filesize = 192M

    The technical team told me that the max file size to upload on GoDaddy is 192MB. The site I’m trying to upload is well under that which is also isn’t clear why it’s still not working.

    When I tried clicking on the I have enough disk space green outline button, the site seemed to be uploading as normal, but when it was about to wrap it up, the site got corrupted and crashed my whole website. I had to go to an older back-up version to get it working again. After having gone through that, I never pressed that button again!

    Would anyone have any experience with GoDaddy and this the All-in-One WP Migration plugin?

    Appreciate the help!

    The easiest way to figure out the problem is to request error logs from your hosting provider for your website, then examine them around the time when you tried to upload the file.
    You will see what limit you have encountered and increasing it will solve the issue.

    The settings in PHP that you likely need to adjust are:

    • upload_max_filesize – set this to a value > than your backup
    • post_max_size – set this to a value > than your backup
    • memory_limit – set this to a value > than your backup
    • max_execution_time – set this to 0 (infinite)

    Also, please read these two guides:
