 * I am hosting a Joomla 1.15 site at one.com that I want to migrate to WP.
 * I want to migrate the content via FP Joomla to WP
    I get an error message: Connection
   failed.
 * === START import 2016-02-06 18:42:59 ===
    WordPress content removed [ERROR] Couldn’t
   connect to the Joomla database. Please check your parameters. And be sure the
   WordPress server can access the Joomla database. SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access
   denied for user ‘admin’@’10.246.64.134’ (using password: YES) Please read the
   FAQ for the solution. === END import 2016-02-06 18:43:00 ===
 * I checked my login and pasword, and they are correct.
    At the FAQ it states: 
   If Joomla and WordPress are not installed on the same host, you can do this:
 * But at one.com Joomla and WordPress are installed on the same host so that is
   no option.
 * Please help. I want to migrate with users/password so I will need the pro version,
   but I need to connect.
 * I contacted one.com and they state that the only connection optieon is via PhpMyadmin,
   not via a tool. Is that correct?
 * Please help.
 * Joomla Source: svoisterwijk.nl
    WP target: wp.svoisterwijk.nl

 * Double check the database login and password. You can find them in the Joomla
   file configuration.php.
    You can also compare the Joomla file configuration.php
   and the WordPress file wp-config.php.

 * I get the same error message. But in my config file I cannot find a port number.
   Where can I find it?
