GEDCOM Export Error (Solved)

[mahesh]

I have two instances of TNG-v14. One is on-line and another in Localhost (Laragon). 

I am suddenly having export errors in the local install. 

The Admin page shows progress as

Exporting GEDCOM...

If the export fails to run to completion, click here to resume.

Finished Exporting GEDCOM

Online export works fine.

I have tried

• Restoring database using online backup
• replaced media
• replacing files admin_export.php, admin_gedcom2.php and gedcom.php.

Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? 🙏🏾

If your local version of TNG is working, maybe the target/destination for writing the GEDCOM file is an issue? Can you check where it's trying to write the file?

Thanks for responding. Target is in the TNG folder. TNG creates a folder, gedcom, and writes the file there. Writing the file to another dstination gives same result.

BTW, beginning of the file looks like 👇🏾

Other than making sure the "owner" and permissions on the destination are correct, I'm not sure what else could be wrong.

I had a similar issue when a folder I created was "root" owner instead of the app/system user...

Thanks for your help. It helped in doing some thinking - out-of-the-box.

The issue was traced to corrupt config.php file. Following 2 lines were corrupt.

$lineendingdisplay = "\\r\\n";
$lineending = "\r\n";
