thanks, christian. i look forward to using it!

Whoops. Don’t know why I posted the IP stuff – that doesn’t matter. Basically, what LizardSF said is all good – I didn’t need to repeat it. I guess I like to hear myself talk.

LizardSF,

Yeah, that’s what I see, too. Christian, if you’re interested, users of GoDaddy can’t use your plug-in. As LizardSF mentioned, GoDaddy puts Joomla content in one database, WordPress content in another, and besides having separate usernames and passwords for both databases, GoDaddy actually uses separate IP addresses for every database. Your plug-in, for GoDaddy users, should have “Source IP,” “Source User,” and “Source Password” as well as “Destination IP,” “Destination User,” and “Destination Password.” Everything else is fine, it seems.

I’m experiencing a similar issue. I have the same setup as LizardSF, and when I try to connect, I get the following error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/c/o/p/copythatsixfour/html/blog/wp-content/plugins/joomla-to-wordpress-migrator/joomla2wp-mig.php on line 1244

I’m sure the database username and password are correct because I just logged into it. :-/

Thanks so much for the work on the plugin – I look forward to hearing back!
