As a young developer, my first task is to migrate a website on another server. I was thinking it will take me less than 2 days but no. The website was made with PHP 5.6 with the CMS Joomla! 1.5. I've migrate the sources, but when I try the page, I got the message:
Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL
I've tried multiples manipulations:
I have installed Plesk Onyx for do the migration, but same message
I have tried with Plesk 12.5, but same,
I have tried by copiing sources manually on the serv, it didn't work too
I have check my LAMP server, the php test is okey, the mysql (MariaDB) too, and Apache2 test is okey.
I have already edit the configuration.php file, but it's the same problem.
I have tested on another OS for my server (last one was Debian), now I have installed centos 7, but I don't change anything.
Don't know what's wrong with my migration, if somebody have and idea, I'm listening
The answer is in the error message Joomla gave you. The details you've set for accessing the database are wrong.
Did you create a MySQL database for your new site? Did you import the database from the old site to the new server?
