Question
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:
- Ensured proper permissions for users and database
- Opened up 3306 port
- Changed listen server to 0.0.0.0
- 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

An old post but thought we would comment.
With ManageWP - the easiest way is the backup your current site.
You might get a few errors such as the ManageWP plugin is not installed or at the end, a SQL error. When this happens, wait a bit.. then just restore the site via FTP through ManageWP and it all should be good to go.
Hope this helps.
