Importing from a Subfolder/Domain

    I am running Drupal 6.26 and I am trying to import my website to WordPress. My current website (the drupal I want to import) is on the root domain. The WordPress I want to import to is a subdomain/folder of the root domain. How do I reference that in the hostname? I am getting the error: [ERROR] Couldn’t connect to the Drupal database. Please check your parameters. And be sure the WordPress server can access the Drupal database.
    SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘..(took this out for security reasons)’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)
    Please read the FAQ for the solution.

    Also, if I want to try the importing it into the WordPress database two questions: 1) how do I import in PHP My Admin and 2) where do I find my WordPress database username/password (I knew how in drupal, not sure where that is stored in WordPress)

    If Drupal and WordPress are on the same server, you can find the Drupal database host in the file sites/default/settings.php

    If WordPress is located on another host, you need to export the Drupal database with phpMyAdmin (Export tab). It will generate a SQL file. And import it on the WordPress database with phpMyAdmin on the WordPress host (Import tab).

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