Untar database backup errors
The biggest problem with Untar database backup errors is that the archive is broken or corrupt is that the user has downloaded the file to their desktop via ftp standalone software. For this type of file you must use your ftp function in cpanel and as well as this you can explore remotely. When you explore of expand this you can either drag and drop to your desktop (mozilla) or download (right click -download file)
This will ensure that the file will be downloaded in the correct manner (ASCII formatting issues) that you can use to upload into you mysql database easily.
If your original database is damages then it might have to be deleted and alternatively a better option for wordpress is to start a brand new database from cpanel and edit wp config to the appropriate setting
// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xxxx_xxx’);
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’,'xxxx_xxx’);
/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxx’);
Having done this go to phpmyadmin connect to database with your password above and the name of the database will be displayed , and reclick on the name and then import. Do not import from the function that is displayed on first entry even though it will depict the name of the database in the left corner it it not selected . You must select the database name a second time ( there should be no further writing below it in the left column.
