URL/installer.php doesn’t work

You probably don’t have your web server setup correctly to server up PHP files. If your put in a simple file named test.php with this code inside:

<?php phpinfo() ?>

Does it show up? You may also just put in a simple test.html file as well. If neither show up then that path isn’t setup to server web pages. If your on a host they should be able to turn it on for you…

Hope that helps~

Thanks for your quick response! I’ve created a test.php with the given code, and it showed up and said I had version 5.6.30. So, what is the next thing I should do?

Very Odd! Can you send me the URL to where this is happening?

Hi Cory,

I have *exactly* the same issue, right down to the same version of php.

I have successfully restored many sites using Duplicator in the past, however this is the first time I’ve attempted to use Duplicator on a this server (which is new).

Were you able to figure out the issue that @thijsbrehm was having?

Same issue. Used Duplicator a couple of years ago to replicate sites. Tried the updated version this morning and on this page: https://guidinglightfiction.com/new/installer.php all I get is a blank page. I’m replicating from one directory on our Blue Host public_html to another directory. I wouldn’t think it’s a PHP version issue since it’s the same server serving up the PHP.

Permissions for installer.php are 644.

I opened the file on the server and looked at the code. All the code seems to be there. We’re running other WordPress sites on Blue Host, so I don’t think running .php files is the issue.

Could Blue Host block the installer file as a security measure?
