10up / MU-Migration

This WP-CLI plugin makes the process of moving sites from single WordPress sites to a Multisite instance (or vice-versa) much easier. It exports everything into a zip package which can be used to automatically import it within the desired Multisite installation.

Error establishing a database connection #69

Closed derekPrivate closed 4 years ago

derekPrivate commented 4 years ago

Just trying this tool for the first time. I have successfully exported my multi-site Wordpress to a zip file. I have copied the zip file to a (completely) new Wordpress installation. I run the command

wp mu-migration import all site.zip --new_url=dev.xxxxxxxx.com/wordpress --path=/var/public/sites/wordpress

and get the message Error establishing a database connection

Any ideas how I can investigate the issue? I have checked usernames etc using phpMyAdmin

Does the site work properly outside of MU-Migration? This seems to be an issue within your database connection since MU-Migration does not handle connections to the database directly.

Yes - it is a brand-new site (clean install. wp setup) and I can connect to the server with my browser - the site just has the default content.

P.S.

To confirm the connection, I just added this to a file and then opened with the browser and received “Connected successfully”

<?php $link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_error()); } echo 'Connected successfully'; mysqli_close($link); ?>

OK, I eventually found the issue. I was having the same problem with wp core update and tracked it down (eventually!) to using the native php instead of the one supplied with MAMP.

Thanks for your help.
