Database Validation Error

  • Trying to migrate a site to a new server with Migrate Guru via FTP. FTP connects fine but then migration fails with an error message:

    Error! The destination database could not be validated. Please check the destination WordPress and retry.

    Blank WordPress install appears to be fine on the destination server. Any idea what might cause this?

    Think the problem is that CSF is blocking external connection to port 3306 — if possible I’d prefer to whitelist Migrate Guru IPs in the firewall rather than opening up the port for all.

    What IP addresses/IP range would I need to specify?

    Not sure the firewall is the issue — still getting the database validation error when temporarily opening 3306 and even if I temporarily disable the firewall entirely.

    Any ideas?
