Migrating from another host

    I get this message when I use the login information from the configuration.php file.

    I am migrating from one host to another.

    [fgj2wpp] 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] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

    The help file suggests “If Joomla and WordPress are not installed on the same host, you can do this:
    > 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.”

    However, I don’t know how to export a MySQL database. I have an FTP connection… to the server where I found the configuration.php file. I also have admin access to the Joomla 1.5 interface.

    Please provide any further help available. Thank you.
