Migrating from another host

    I get this message when I use the login information from the configuration.php file.

    I am migrating from one host to another.

    [fgj2wpp] Couldn’t connect to the Joomla database. Please check your parameters. And be sure the WordPress server can access the Joomla database.
    SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

    The help file suggests “If Joomla and WordPress are not installed on the same host, you can do this:
    > export the Joomla database to a SQL file (with phpMyAdmin for example)
    > import this SQL file on the same database as WordPress
    > run the migration by using WordPress database credentials (host, user, password, database) instead of the Joomla ones in the plugin settings.”

    However, I don’t know how to export a MySQL database. I have an FTP connection… to the server where I found the configuration.php file. I also have admin access to the Joomla 1.5 interface.

    Please provide any further help available. Thank you.

    To export the Joomla database, you need to connect to the phpMyAdmin interface of your Joomla site and follow this procedure: https://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database

    To import it on the WordPress database, you need to go to the phpMyAdmin interface of the WordPress site, click on “Import” and select the SQL file you have previously exported.
