I love “local” so far, thanks!

Downloaded a backup (.tar.gz) from my cPanel server and imported, whole process ran thru 100% no hiccups!

Downloaded another backup (.tgz) from a VPS droplet, had to convert to .zip and imported, then very nearly got thru the whole process but right at the end gave an error:

Error: Command failed: /Applications/Local.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/lightning-services/php-7.3.5+10/bin/darwin/bin/php /Applications/Local.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/bin/wp-cli/wp-cli.phar --path=/Users/davidsutherland/Local Sites/iohio/app/public --require=/Applications/Local.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/bin/wp-cli/local-wpcli-error-reporting.php --skip-plugins --skip-themes --url=[wordpress-578318-1882295.cloudwaysapps.com](http://wordpress-578318-1882295.cloudwaysapps.com) search-replace --all-tables-with-prefix [http://wordpress-578318-1882295.cloudwaysapps.com](http://wordpress-578318-1882295.cloudwaysapps.com) [http://iohio.local](http://iohio.local)

Has it got to do with the domain provisioning or something similar?

importing database  
changing site domain  
unable to import

maybe there’s another method to import the.sql and web files from public\_html directly into Local, without having to use a migration plugin?

I was having the same issue. Even tried to remove local and reinstall it however it didn’t worked. I finally found that the problem was coming from W3 Total cache, once I deleted the files/folders, I was able to import the site successfully.
