"Couldn't connect to the Joomla database"

    Hey,

    I am attempting to use the following technique with your plugin…

    – export the Joomla database to a SQL file (with phpMyAdmin for example)
    – import this SQL file on the same database as WordPress
    – run the migration by using WordPress database credentials (host, user, password, database) instead of the Joomla ones in the plugin settings.

    …and it is giving me the following error:

    [fgj2wp] Couldn’t connect to the Joomla database. Please check your parameters. And be sure the WordPress server can access the Joomla database.
    SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Permission denied

    I have double checked the host, user, password, database and can only imagine that it may have something to do with the port or the URL. I am at loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    If the Joomla and the WordPress databases are on the same server, then it comes from the host, user or password that is wrong. Please double check them.
