SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection timed out

  • Hi,

    I’m looking to move servers and then convert my joomla site to a wordpress site.

    I’ve set up wordpress on server2 and installed the plugin FG Joomla to WordPress.

    I enter the details for the Mysqli connection on server1, however it just reports the error below.

    === START test_database 2022-09-16 10:58:46 ===
    [ERROR] 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] Connection timed out

    Please read the FAQ for the solution.
    === END test_database 2022-09-16 10:59:16 ===

    I checked the FAQ but there is nothing about connection timed out – any ideas how to fix this?

    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. You can find the WordPress credentials in the wp-config.php file.
