Troubleshooting MySQL Error 1044 During Data Migration

Encountering a "MySQL Error 1044" during your data migration with Cart2Cart indicates that the system has detected incorrect access details and is unable to connect to your MySQL database. This issue can arise from various factors, including:

  • Incorrect MySQL username or password
  • Insufficient user permissions for the database
  • Customized source file structure
  • Firewall restrictions blocking access to the MySQL server

If you encounter this error during the migration setup, follow these steps to resolve it:

  1. Verify MySQL Access Details: Double-check the MySQL hostname, username, and password you've entered. Ensure there are no typos or extra spaces.
  2. Check User Permissions: Confirm that the MySQL user has the necessary permissions (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER) for the database you're trying to migrate. You may need to grant these permissions through your hosting control panel or a database management tool like phpMyAdmin.
  3. Investigate Source File Structure: If you've customized the structure of your source files, it might be interfering with the connection. Consult with a developer or your hosting provider to ensure the database connection settings are correctly configured.
  4. Check Firewall Settings: Make sure that your firewall isn't blocking access to the MySQL server from the Cart2Cart migration tool. You may need to whitelist the Cart2Cart IP address. Contact Cart2Cart Support for the IP address.

If you've verified all the above and are still experiencing the error, please contact our Support Team for further assistance. They can help you diagnose the issue and ensure a successful data migration.
