 * Hi
 * Today, after creating backups for some time using Duplicator – I decided to try
   the procedure of installing the package on a different location and see if it
   works. And it fails.
 * This is the problem I have – the 1st step – no problems with that at all, then,
   after completing the step 2 – the website is not working on a new location. I
   cannot even log in to wordpress to resave the permalinks. It seems that the link
   update script is not working properly – and the links are duplicated: This is
   the example
 * [http://www.samplepage.comwww.samplepage.com/&#8230](http://www.samplepage.comwww.samplepage.com/&#8230);./….
 * I managed to make it work on a local BitNami WordPress stack – by skipping the“
   Update” step of the Installer – and update links manually later.
 * But when I tried to do it back on the server – the trick doesn’t work – and I
   think I’m experiencing all possible issues in the same time + permission problems.
 * Any ideas why Installer.php is duplicating the website address after Updating
   links procedure?
 * Thanks

 * Hey Waveman777,
 * That is pretty strange… If you want to submit a support ticket I can work closer
   with you on this. Not sure what is causing the issue…

 * This issue was identified by the following variables that were set in the wp-
   config.php file:
 * >  define(‘WP_HOME’, ”);
   >  define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ”);
 * If these values are created then they may cause issues after install. The install
   report in version 0.4.2 now warns if these variables are set.
