Q: Detailed Description of the Problem
A:
Each time I attempt to download an existing site from Kinsta it fails at downloading the remote site. with the above error code.

The site is a subdomain multisite.

All throughout the log file when attempting to run wp it seems to fail (or maybe just warn) that the site does not appear to be a Wordpress installation. The site is a Wordpress installation but its a rather old and perhaps custom one.

Reading through other issues with this error code it might be relevant that the database is very large. The SQL file I attempted to export from phpMyAdmin is over 1GB.

Hello @George_Butter! :wave:

Welcome to the Kinsta Community!

I tried importing a Multisite using subdomain formatting to DevKinsta and it worked perfectly fine. Therefore, the issue might be specific to the site data you are trying to import. To better understand the problem, please close or quit both the DevKinsta and Docker apps completely. Then, relaunch DevKinsta and try the pull action again. If the issue still persists, kindly send me a copy of your DevKinsta raw main.log file via private message. To locate it, click the question mark icon at the bottom-left corner of DevKinsta and select the option “Reveal log file in File Manager”. We would like to investigate why the DK0029 error is occurring.

Furthermore, please ensure that you have selected the correct option to Pull the site to Devkinsta, as shown in the screenshot below:

We look forward to hear back from you. :slightly_smiling_face:
