DK0029 error: Can’t create mysql dump again

Hi. I get the same error as people do here in this thread:

I tried to do as Michael suggests here: DK0029 error: Can’t create mysql dump - #3 by michael, but I just get an error in terminal that the file can’t be found.
I am on a Macbook Pro, macOS: 15.0.1 (24A348)

How do I share my error logs without sharing my data with everyone?

Hi @vayu! Thank you for reaching out to us on the forums! Welcome to the Kinsta community!

Hi Andrew. I am getting the same issue when pulling changes from Production to Local dev.

Hello @vayu :waving_hand:

Can you please share main.log from the DevKinsta so we can take a look?

Kind regards!

Hi @VladimirM, I missed your response, but now I tested it again and I will give you the log file here.
main.log [redacted]

Hello @vayu :waving_hand:

It seems that there are a couple of issues with the site starting from the Freetrailer plugin and theme, but the main reason MySQL dump is failing, as per the logs is database table wp_wpforms_entry_fields at row: 5860

Are you pulling from live or from staging site?

For some reason I do not get mail notifications when you guys respond. I will have to look into why.
To answer your question, I am trying get from Live.
I do not know why there would be an error with wp_wpforms_entry_fields?

Please try creating a fresh staging site and pulling it. If the issue reoccurs, try deleting wp_wpforms_entry_fields and then try pulling from staging again.

Let me know if that works :+1:

Okay, I will try to import a new site locally. I have now activated notifications, so I should get an email next time.

I can see that DevKinsta throws and error: “Can’t create mysql dump” DK0029 during the creation/import of a new site.

Same error as when I tried to update the local site:

Hi @vayu

I’m not certain if this has been attempted before, but you can try requesting a downloadable backup of your site from MyKinsta. Once you have the downloaded zip file, please import it into Devkinsta by selecting Create New Site >> Custom Site >> Import from Backup.

Let us know how it goes.
