Yes I am trying to pack the whole site. Not that it is very big but can you tell me, what I can't pack? That might be the problem since I am able to make smaller packs!
You can't pack media for instance and there are some other things you won't be able to pack as well. Can't remember, which ones currently though.
If you need to setup a new instance of the site I think it's better if you make a backup of the database (Unless you're using CE SQL) and then restore the database from the backup and then copy over the files to the new server. It should not take long.
If you're using CE SQL then you can just copy over the whole site to the new location since it's an embedded database.
Otherwise I'll recommend that you look into packages such as uMport or Conveyor in order to deploy things from one environment to another.
Installing local packages failing
HI. I try to install a local package that I have made. The version is Umbraco 7. I get this error message. Can anyone help me solving this?
Hi Lars
What is the exact version of Umbraco 7? Is it 7.0.x or 7.1 or 7.2.x?
What did you include in your package?
/Jan
Hi Jan
Thank you for your answer. The Umbraco version is 7.2.1.
I included "everything", also CSS files and javaScript libaries like bootstrap and jquery.

Hi Lars
Ok, so everything meaning you want to package up a whole site? Because then there is certain stuff you can't add etc.
I'm just trying to get it...I thought that maybe it was just fraction of the installation :)
