[Shipper] Unable to restore migration package to server.

I’ve been trying to restore the shipper migration package onto my site (not hosted with WPMU DEV), however it doesn’t seem to complete.. and get’s stuck at the same place.

    Hello Pascal LECOMTE

    I hope you are well today.

    The problem was an errant wp-config.php define.

    $table_prefix = '{{SHIPPER_TABLE_PREFIX}}';

    I replaced {{SHIPPER_TABLE_PREFIX}} with the correct table prefix and the import went successfully. I’ve left the installer in place so you can run through again, if you wish.

    Let us know if you have any further issues. We’re always happy to help! :slight_smile:

    Best,

    Hello Pascal LECOMTE

    While your site is hosted using cPanel, the standard umask (default permissions) for extracted files was quite strict. From a security perspective, great! For automating restorations, not so hot. Fortunately, a quick little recursive change of permissions got everything sorted after modifying the wp-config.php manually.

    Hope this helps clarify.

    Best,
