Issues with Migrating to Another Host

    I am migrating from joomla cms to wordpress. I need to move DB and Files from test domain/URL/Host (wordpress) to main Domain/URL/Host (joomla). I have gone through the regular process of migration (create DB and restore test host backup on main host, delete joomla files and copy test host backup wordpress files to public_html and edit config file)and yet still, I’m not getting result, though there is a database connection.
    When reload site it comes with an error at the top of the site:

    Warning: mysql_real_escape_string(): Access denied for user ‘nobody’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in /home/accessba/public_html/wp-content/plugins/easy-contact-forms/easy-contact-forms-database.php on line 152

    Warning: mysql_real_escape_string(): A link to the server could not be established in /home/accessba/public_html/wp-content/plugins/easy-contact-forms/easy-contact-forms-database.php on line 152

    And all my links would be pointing to my test site/domain on test host. And If I edit the data with find and replace link/URL, the site will finally not display. Meaning it can only be displayed when the database is restored without find and replace editing.
    Again I used another option like wp-clone plugin option and still can’t find my way out, I had error whiles trying to activate after installation on my main domain/host.

    Warning: mkdir(): No such file or directory in /home/accessba/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/wpclone.php on line 78
    Unable to create directory ‘/home/accessba/public_html/wp-content/uploads/wp-clone’. Please set 0755 permission to wp-content.

    However, I can easily install and activate this plugin on the test domain and test host.

    please please help discuss as this migration project as it is super urgent for me.

    Hi Cyriam,

    Can you please clarify the following:

    I am migrating from joomla cms to wordpress. I need to move DB and Files from test domain/URL/Host (wordpress) to main Domain/URL/Host (joomla).

    You are migrating from joomla to wordpess and then moving db and files from wordpress to joomla?

    Anyway on the server you are moving to, can you confirm that it has exactly the same database credentials (user and password) from your previous server please? I can safely assume that on your new server, user ‘nobody’ doesn’t exist and it sounds like it don’t have any associated password too.

    You are also getting a permission error. If you have access to FTP or better cPanel for your new server, you can change it to 0755. Try it on the following directory first: /uploads/wp-clone and see if that other error is gone.

    Let us know how it goes. Thank you!
