@joegp One site that I’m cloning successfully is running WP4.1.1, so that could be a factor but it doesn’t appear to be the only one. That being said, it could be any number of other things so I’m inclined to take your advice and move to Duplicator – any caveats/words of wisdom that you can share?

Hi JoeGP, did you have any luck figuring this out? I’m having the same issue. One clue I did discover is that the error is dependent upon the source site, but I could not see any structural difference.

Hi Murrayac,

Did you ever get this resolved? I’ve got the same issue. Can you tell me where the csv file gets written so I can check permissions there? thx

before installing and configuring revisr, I started with a working repo. then I installed and configured revisr (in hindsight obviously improperly) and attempted to pull/commit/push etc with only partial success. stopped using revisr to perform git operations using the command line and got fatal errors about the remote not being found. edited the .git/config file per the code blocks and command line operations started working again.

this first code block is what revisr wrote to the config file

[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = false
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
	symlinks = false
	ignorecase = true
	hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly
[remote "origin"]
	url = https://[email protected]:user/repo
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	pushurl = https://[email protected]:user/repo
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master
[user]
[user]
	name = Anthony Dobaj
	email = [email protected]

this second one is what actually works

[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
	url = [email protected]:user/repo
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master

Revisr broke my local repo today, took me the afternoon to figure out that it writes to the .git/config file. Some better documentation is really in order, maybe I can help you with that.

Nevermind that last one, the gitignore file got deleted in (I think) a bad pull because I don’t have Revisr set up properly.

I’m also having the issue that Revisr is putting changes that should be ignored (because of .gitignore) into the staging area.

OK, maybe I’ve just got the format wrong. Can you please help me with the following settings (generic examples would be very helpful):

– Remote Name: is this (as the note alludes) the name of the remote branch, or what exactly?
– Remote URL: is this the URL of the login screen, the remote repo? I use bitbucket.
– Path to MySql: to the mysql root, the executable, or what? We’re running on both LAMP and WAMP servers.

Thanks for the information!

OK, thanks for that clarification. I just updated my WP installation to the latest version and now I cannot get into the Revisr dashboard, is this a known bug? I’ve reset the WAMP server.

Thanks for the quick response. No, I understand about the gitignore file. What I’m saying is that in a wordpress installation the sql database has path references that need to be updated for that particular installation (ex, “localhost” vs “some other URL”). I was hoping that Revisr would automate that process.

I got the files committed via git bash so that’s a reasonable work around until I’ve got more time, but now I have another question – I’ve installed git on our live server and have been able to use git’s command line to clone the remote. When I try to view the site I get a “error establishing a database connection”, which is natural because the DB that exists on the live site has different pathnames. So where do I go from here? I can manually edit the DB for it to work on the live server, but I obviously don’t want to do that every time…

OK, the path thing seems to have fixed the problem, thx. I’m still having an issue with not being able to commit with Revisr. Monitoring the status of the repo with git, I can see that the files get staged but when I hit the “commit files” button, revisr says the files got committed but I can see that they haven’t. Is there a way I can attach screenshots?
