 * Hi,
 * I am currently trying to migrate my localhost wordpress installation to a live
   server useing the Duplicator Plugin. I also hope to use this plugin as my backup
   solution later as it promisses only some easy steps.
 * When I now want to run the installer.php on my live server I just receive a blank
   screen. When I turn on my php error logs I receive:
 * `Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=27) state=0 in /customers/
   a/4/9/URL/httpd.www/installer.php on line 216 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected'
   ���p' (T_STRING) in /customers/a/4/9/URL/httpd.www/installer.php on line 216`
 * Instead of URL it shows me my actual URL.
    Any suggestions please?

 * Okay I could not resolve the issue after a few hours figguering and trying.
 * Now I did everything manualy – what a shame as I really want to use the Plugin.
