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.

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 [info@seo-expert.fr](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after/info@seo-expert.fr?output_format=md) * Is this the only way to solve this connektion problem? * Thanks for your work and your anser. * HHK – germany * [Cory Lamle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corylamleorg/) * (@corylamleorg) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after/#post-4625184) * Hey AllEinKlang, * Wow… seems like they have a really complex setup. I have worked with 100’s of hosts and never had an issue that complex… Also note that within the host name you can pass the port number: * > ‘localhost:999’ * Not sure if that will work, but you could give it a try… * Cheers~ * Thread Starter [AllEinKlang HHK](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alleinklang-hhk/) * (@alleinklang-hhk) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after/#post-4625231) * 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. * HHK * [Cory Lamle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corylamleorg/) * (@corylamleorg) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-after/#post-4625232) * Hey AllEinKlang, * Off the top of my head I don’t know of anything. There are a few other plugins that do backup like xcloner or backupbuddy (which is commercial).
