ManageWP & Database Connection to a Droplet.

So this is clearly a very specific answer, but I am sure it would fix problems outside of it as well.

I installed Ubuntu, PHP, MySQL, ProFTPd, Apache, and a few other mods. Got Webmin & Virtualmin all setup and everything is working beautifully. The ONE thing that I cant get to work, which is the one thing that I really need, is to get ManageWP to migrate WordPress sites. I can install it just find, just cant migrate them.

I have entered in my FTP and it works on the site, but it gives me a "Cant connect to database" error with my other information.

Things I have tried:

  1. Ensured proper permissions for users and database
  2. Opened up 3306 port
  3. Changed listen server to 0.0.0.0
  4. And variants of almost all of the above. I have spent about 16 hours doing research and I cant figure this out.

Additionally I tried to connect the same way using other programs with roughly the same results. Clearly its a remote connection issue, but I have tried everything I can think of.

Anyones help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I also ran Netstat -plutn and notice that nothing is listening on port 3306. But its open... im so confused.
