 * Host: Fail
    Database: Fail Version: This Server: [] — Package Server: [5.6.24]
 *  I am trying to duplicate wordpress site on my local server.
    I’ve spent all 
   day trying every possible solution on the web trying to figure this out. None
   of the solutions are working. I am so lost. Why am I keep getting Fail notices?????

 * Hey dubistdu,
 * If you have already gone through all the checklist items here:
 *  -> Browse to: [http://lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq](http://lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq)
   -
   > Find section: “Database Issues”
 * Then you may want to connect with your hosting provider to ask them exactly what
   parameters you should be using. The underlying code is using a basic [PHP function](http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-connect.php)
   for connection.
 * Let me know if that helps!

 * Maybe you should try putting the ip host instead of localhost . I had the same
   error, and so solve.

 * That is correct the vast majority for most of the issues above are DB connection
   issues, best solution is to get the exact creds from the host.
