error after

Hi Cory,
the proglem obove is solved now. The error was: missing htaccess for running correktly with php5. Now the duplicator-installler surface appears in the browser. Requirements-pass ist green. Host, user, name appear correktlx and are checked again – the same the password – but – after clicking the button test connection it says twice – by server and database – failed. The installer-log.txt on the server is empty.

Perhaps you have a suggestion here too. Thanks

Hi Cory,

I called my provider and he cecked everything. He checked everythin and he forund this informationen:

This is an English version for the Duplicator’s problem with the Socket connection Mysql

Problem Description:

You created your duplicator copy everything works, once on the new server your service provider has provided you with a host like: localhost :/ tmp/mysql5.sock
well you will be going soon realize that duplication will not happen unfortunately.

Indeed to connect to the database must

Server
User
DB name
Socket
Port

We do not usually see these two parameters simply because they are used generally in their default values: socket (/ tmp / mysql.sock) and port (3306).

Now if your service provider for security conditions gave a different socket and / or port you will lose any utility of the sublime Duplicator.

Solution:

SEO Expert thought of you, in fact simply we will modify installer.php file

It is easy (relatively)
So first declare two variables with your information:

-I take the example of 1and1 that I used:

the host: localhost :/ tmp/mysql5.sock
So the variable socket will be like this $ socket = ‘/ tmp/mysql5.sock;
For the port in my case was therefore $ 3316 Port = 3316; (put the correct value in this variable)

Now that you declare your variables in the installer.php
You will find all connections to the database and add the parameters $Socket $Port

Then you replace all the « @mysqli_connect($_POST[‘dbhost’], $_POST[‘dbuser’], $_POST[‘dbpass’], $_POST[‘dbname’]);»
With « @mysqli_connect($_POST[‘dbhost’], $_POST[‘dbuser’], $_POST[‘dbpass’], $_POST[‘dbname’], $Port, $Socket ); »
And « @mysqli_connect($_POST[‘dbhost’], $_POST[‘dbuser’], $_POST[‘dbpass’]); »
With « @mysqli_connect($_POST[‘dbhost’], $_POST[‘dbuser’], $_POST[‘dbpass’], NULL, $Port, $Socket); »

You’re almost done, all that remains is to add these values to ​​wordpress wp-config.php.
Always in installer.php we should find the line that replaces the values ​​of wp-config.php, normally it’s in line 600

« $replace = array(« ‘DB_NAME’, » . ‘\ » . $_POST[‘dbname’] . ‘\ »,

« ‘DB_USER’, » . ‘\ » . $_POST[‘dbuser’] . ‘\ »,

« ‘DB_PASSWORD’, » . ‘\ » . $_POST[‘dbpass’] . ‘\ »,

« ‘DB_HOST’, » . ‘\ » . $_POST[‘dbhost’] . ‘\ »); »

We will create variable named $ HostSocket = « localhost :/ tmp/mysql5.sock »
And we will put it in place of the variable $ _POST [‘dbhost’]
It will look like this

«$replace = array(« ‘DB_NAME’, « . ‘\ ».$_POST[‘dbname’].’\ »,

« ‘DB_USER’, « . ‘\ ».$_POST[‘dbuser’].’\ »,

« ‘DB_PASSWORD’, » . ‘\ ».$_POST[‘dbpass’].’\ »,

« ‘DB_HOST’, « . ‘\ ».$HostSocket.’\ »); »

You finish
You just have to follow in the steps proposed by installer.php

Please if you have any questions about this or remarks contact us at [email protected]

Is this the only way to solve this connektion problem?

Thanks for your work and your anser.

Thanks Cory for your work,

in my cace – lokal host – with an htaccess and an ini the connection and the installation ran now, but with mistakes. On this server with an local host – there is no other offportunity – because there are still existing a few sites that were built under php4.

Well – ist there an other opportunity to built clone site with a subdomain to test new versions and updates for woocommerce shop before activation on the main site?

Perhaps you have another idea for me. This thread ist solved with this note.

Thank you from germany.

Thanks Cory,

and the best for you.
