Hi All,

wonder if anyone can help me.

I am trying to restore my opencats install on a new setup, but when I try to restore from a backup (full backup), I get the error:

"504 Gateway Time-out"

This is at step 3 : Loading Data

I have the correct name of the backup file I took from my original opencats install.

Thanks,

Mak.

Hi,

it's simply timing out. I assume either apache or php is timing out. To amend the php timeout values see here (as always, stackopverflow is yout friend)

Hi RussH,

tried the steps, but that unfortunately, didn't work.

Obviously, I am doing something wrong as I know get the error 503 service unavailable and have asked my hosting company if they can help.

Thanks anyway.

A workaround which worked for me was:

1. Copy all the files from my original OpenCATS to my local machine via FTP
2. Export the entire Database of my original OpenCATS
3. Install a demo copy of OpenCATS on a new domain
4. Delete the contents of the database from hthe new domain
5. Import the entire Database of my original OpenCATS

And it works without any issues.
