Make a copy of an installation I am trying to create a copy of a Drupal installation in a different folder.

I want to copy the site that is located on https://my-url/drupal to http://my-url/copy. I copied all the files in the Drupal root to the copy folder and I exported and imported the database in a new database and also changed the database configuration of the copy site using settings.php (copy/sites/default/settings.php).

When I put the main site on maintenance mode though the copy site is also put on maintenance mode.

Am I missing something here?
Thanks to @Clive giving me an indication that is something to do with memchache I followed these steps to resolve my issue.


Disabled the memcache module.
Commented out the memchache configuation settings in the settings.php of the copy site.


This resolves the issue.
