Wordpress Staging installation fails (and clone too)

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 07:52:12 GMT

It sounds like the issue is related to database user permissions. Even though the DB and user are created, if the user isn’t granted the proper rights, WordPress can’t connect, which causes the error you’re seeing. Double-check that the user has all privileges on the new database. If everything seems correct and it still fails, it’s probably best to open a support request with Softaculous, since they can verify if the staging/clone process is assigning permissions correctly.

WordPress: Incompatibility between SQLite Object Cache and Softaculous Login

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 07:36:35 GMT

I’ve noticed the same issue with SQLite Object Cache on a WordPress site installed via Softaculous. Activating persistent object caching seems to block the admin login through cPanel, likely due to how sessions are handled. For now, the workaround is to temporarily disable the cache before logging in, but it would be great if the plugin could automatically handle this incompatibility.

AMPPS install on MacOS on the external drive

You can achieve this in two ways:

1. Change the Document Root
Edit the Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) and update the default AMPPS www path.
Open httpd.confLocate the following lines:
DocumentRoot "{$path}/www"

Replace them with your new path. For example:
DocumentRoot "/Users/pc/www"

Save the file and restart the AMPPS server.

Note:
AMPPS Softaculous auto-installer still uses the default internal www directory.
If you install apps like WordPress or Joomla, they will be created in the default location.
To use them in your new directory, you’ll need to manually move or migrate those installations.

2. Use Alias Manager
AMPPS also provides an Alias Manager, which lets you map any folder on your system to a URL.
For example, you can create an alias such that:http://localhost/your_site
points to your custom folder.
This allows you to keep your files outside the default www directory without modifying the main Document Root.

Is it possible to at least have www folder externally? To save the space on macbook hard drive.

Hi

Understandably, you'd want to manage your development environment on an external drive

Unfortunately, due to how AMPPS is architected on macOS, it is designed to be installed specifically in the /Applications folder on your main system drive. Even if the installer appears to allow other locations, the core services (like Apache, MySQL, etc.) are configured to look for necessary files and configurations within the structure created under /Applications/AMPPS. Installing it elsewhere will likely lead to broken paths and services that fail to start correctly.

Pushing staging site to live site

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 09:34:50 GMT

[quote poster=daniR date=1759950230]Hi, when I originally imported my wordpress website via softaculous, I imported into a sub directory. Since then, I manually moved the website into the root directory.
Now I am ready to push my staging website to my live site, but the software is pushing the stage site into the original sub directory which no longer exists. How can I edit the location of the live site so that I can push the stage site to the correct location - the root directory?

example:
original website import: /public_html/subdirectory
current live site location: /public_html/
staging location: staging.domain.org

This is the issue:
Push to live wordpress - Current staging site will be pushed to your live site: /public_html/subdirectory

I am unsure what setting would be causing it to not show the correct document root. How can I edit the live site location so that the stage site will push to the current live site location?

Thanks,

Softaculous is still reading the old install path from its records. You’ll need to edit the installation details inside Softaculous → WordPress Manager / Installations and update the live site’s “Directory” field to blank (/). Once that’s corrected, the staging push should detect the proper root folder.
