kickstart fails with no input file specified.

I am restoring a functional live environment to a clean test environment. the only 2 files are kickstart.php and the JPA file created by akeeba Pro

I have done restores within akeeba pro to the same site with no issues, rollbacks and more. I cant get this script to execute so i can setip the dev.

This has worked in the past, any ideas

the host is DreamHost

Kickstart.php and the backup archive need to be in the same folder, the folder you want to be the root of the new site. Kickstart isn't smart enough to search for an archive in another location (cloud storage is a different matter).

You should see the archive name to be restored in the Archive File field on the Kickstart screen.
