 * I have successfully created a package and uploaded it with the installer to Godaddy
   Cpanel.
    Now when running the installer. I can;t connect to the database, it 
   fails. I tried changing host name from localhost to the unique database URL when
   running phpmyadmin show host query that i saw here somewhere. I tried naming 
   the database: uername_database and database only. Can you please help? Database
   settings in Godaddy is no where near clear.

 * [@cory](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cory/)… after several attemps, my
   duplicator installer is not working.. tried all methods, given in your FAQ’s.
   
   1. I am using GD, got the db details from WP-config – didnt work 2. googled and
   tried few other combinations, it didnt work either. possibly Duplicator doesnt
   work on GD setups.

 * Interesting, I just saw this thread and I also have the same problem with GoDaddy
   DB.
 * I had no problems using Duplicator when I migrated my site hosted with Hostgator.
