I’m new to Duplicator and I’m having problems with the Installer.
I’ve downloaded the zip archive file and installer to C:/xampp/packages on my PC but can’t get Installer to work.
Here’s a step-by-step record of what I’ve done.
1. Opened http://www.allaboutyourcat.com/cpanel
Logged in and opened MySQLDatabases
Found one existing db with the same name as its user
As I’d had no success in installing using that one, I created new db.
The addition of new db was confirmed by the software.
I then created a new user gave it a password and assigned the new user to the new db, with “All Privileges”
2. Opened Duplicator Installer. (http://localhost/packages/installer.php)
(C:/xampp/htdocs/packages is the folder that holds the zip archive file:-502b9a6d2a91c2699_20120815_allaboutyourcat_package, together with installer.php and a log file).
Filled in the following fields:-
Host: localhost
Name:- the new db name
User:- the new user name
Password: the password I defined for the new user
Clicked “Test Connection”. Result: “DATABASE CONNECTION FAILED!”
Tried again with the Password field left empty. Result: “VALIDATION SUCCESSFUL!”
(This I don’t understand! How can validation be successful with no password?)
Clicked on “Install”. Result: “DATABASE CREATION FAILURE!”
Any suggestions?
