script errors, does not transfer plugins, db error
-
This is a very simple move. I am migrating from one directory to another on the same server.
When running the Migrate function of the Migration Assistant, I get numerous Scrip Error messages. This is more of a nuisance than anything else, as the script seems to be quite potent. It temporally freezes the browser. In a few seconds, everything is fine, and a list of files and folders to be transferred is displayed.
The migration process seems to run smoothy, and is very fast. But the size of the 2 zipped folders that end up in the backup folder of the remote directory are only about 4.5MB. My site is about 40MB (the sql file is about 8MB).
When I complete the migration, a start page is displayed on the front end, but if any link is clicked, a blank page comes up with: “Error establishing a database connection”
If I go back to the Plugins window in the backend (of the romote site), there is a list of plugins, each in their own little section that reads: “The plugin (name of plugin)/plugin.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.” If I open the plugins folder of the site, there are no plugin folders other than for Move WordPress.
When I run a Complete a Full Backup, in the Backup Manager (of the original installation), it produces 5 zipped folders that add up to about 40MB. When I run the migration process without any backups in the Backup Manager, it only produces 2 zipped folders that only add up to about 7MB. If I run the migration process, after running a complete backup and leaving those folders there, the migration process duplicates the 5 zipped folders that also add up to about 40MB.
But no matter the number of folders in the Backup Manager at the time of migration, no plugin folders are migrated, only 2 zipped folders end up in the destination backup folder (at about 7MB), no plugin folders are migrated, and I get the db connection error. (In all cases, the plugin folders do show up in the list of files and folders to be migrated in the migration setup window.)
