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

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