# Exporting DB returns a network failed error

 * We recently set up cloudflare for or site and when i was trying to run Migrate
   DB to export a db, i kept getting a Network failed error once the export bar 
   gets to 100% and the dump download starts.
 * I’m not sure if cloudflare blocks the download but trying out export to csv of
   other services in our site works so i’m more inclined to say this is a Migrate
   DB compatibility issue. I couldn’t find a similar issue here in the support pages.
 * hoping for your assistance.
 * Edit: Tested it in my local setup which is not setup with cloudflare and the 
   exported gzip file was not being extracted. The plugin we’re using is the latest
   version
 * thanks

 * oh forgot to close this one.
 * At least for us, one of our plugin’s php files had an extra space at the end.
   We didn’t know about this until we saw that space error in Updraft Plus. Finding
   that and fixing it corrected the export issue.
