Issue:
During scanning stage of running the Duplicator plugin on a WordPress site, there was an error: Server Error 500.
Solution:
Modify /etc/php.ini file to increase memory:
memory_limit = 256M
from 128M
Tricks:
Even there is error during the scanning stage, Duplicator still allowed building step to proceed and showing no error.
Error 500 actually does not tell anything informative
No special message was logged in Apache web server
Config:
- PHP 5.6.30
- WordPress 4.7.4
- Duplicator 1.2.4
