 * Hi all,
 * I know im not the sharpest pencil in the box and this has had me stumped for 
   a couple days now..
 * I have 2 sites live. I have completely rebuilt one on my Ampps multi site localhost
   install and am ready to upload & ‘live test’ it.
 * Excellent News – I used Duplicator to successfully clone the live sites to my
   Ampps localhost.
 * Not so excellent news – Created a new d/base & user in Hostgator Cpanel. I also
   created a subdomain to ‘live test’ the new site on Hostgator server prior to 
   final change over / release.
    U/l the install.php & archive files into the subdomain
   folder, run the Duplicator Install. It Connects, Deploys(Step 1) & Updates(Step
   2)… all with with no errors or warnings. At Test Step 3 however, it falls over.
   3.1 Install report = shows 0 errors & 0 warnings 3.2 Save permalinks = Error 
   establishing a database connection That is as far as I have got on many separate
   occasions now.
 * I then used the same 2 Duplicator files to successfully create a 2nd copy on 
   my localhost, so I must presume the files are fine.
 * I have tried leaving the default hostname as ‘localhost’ and have also tried 
   using the Hostgator Configuration Settings… same D/B Error on all occasions.
 * Like I said, im not too techie so do not know what other info to include.
 * All suggestions greatly appreciated.
 * Cheers
    Joe
