I successfully installed wbb4 and I have been trying to import the backup to the new platform but to no avail. Keep in mind that I have followed all the steps suggested in the Migration to Burning Board 4 thread. Nothing seems to work. I keep getting this error: Connecting to MySQL server 'alfahosting-server.de' failed:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Ein. Of course, the credentials to access the database are correct, and I also made sure the Table Prefix of the source MySQL database correspond. Needless to mention that I set the importer for the correct board 3.1.x etc. So, I'm at loss of ideas. My question is: can I import the database locally and import them through 'localhost' instead of via remote connection to the old forum?
Thanks
