The “Finished” page

Normally, you should see a success message like this:

ANGIE - Off-site files finished copying

If ANGIE could not write to your site's configuration file, it will present you with a dialog box informing you of this fact. You can close the message by clicking on the "X" button on its top right corner. You can then copy the contents of the text area and paste it into your configuration file - replacing any and all existing content - manually, following the instructions printed on this page. This is only required if your configuration file was not writable in the first place. Under most circumstances this won't happen. Do note that if you get this message and you do not follow the steps printed on the page your restored site will not work.

You now have three options to proceed, depending on how you extracted the backup archive.

If you used Kickstart to extract the backup archive, close the window/tab of the restoration script and return to Kickstart's window. You will see a big “Clean Up” button. Just click on it and it will automatically remove the installation directory, the backup archive, kickstart.php and its translation files, as well as rename htaccess.bak to .htaccess and php.ini.bak to php.ini respectively. No further action is necessary. Your restored site is ready for use.

[Important]Important

If you had created a kicktemp directory for Kickstart's FTP mode to work properly, you must remove it manually with your FTP client application. Kickstart will not do that automatically.

If you were not using Kickstart, you can try clicking on the Remove the installation directory button to have ANGIE try to remove the installation directory automatically. If it succeeds, it will present you with a success dialog. Just click on the Visit your site's front-end button to visit your site's front page. However, if you used Kickstart to extract your files and clicked on this link accidentally instead of using Kickstart's Clean Up button you need to manually rename htaccess.bak to .htaccess and php.ini.bak to php.ini, as well as remove the archive file, kickstart.php file and all its INI files and the kicktemp directory (if one is present) manually.

If you uploaded the extracted files manually, you must remove the installation directory from your site using your FTP client application before visiting your restored site. If you don't, the restoration page may appear again. In this case do not run the restoration again. Just remove the installation directory through FTP and retry visiting your site.
