What can I do if my store's MySQL database sends responses in error?

Troubleshooting MySQL Response Errors During Data Migration

To establish a connection with your store's database, Cart2Cart performs test queries. If these queries don't receive the expected responses, a “MySQL Response Error” message will appear. This indicates that while a connection to your store was established, an issue occurred while retrieving data.

What Causes a "MySQL Response Error" During Data Migration?

A "MySQL Response Error" during data migration signals that Cart2Cart is having trouble communicating with your store's database. This could be due to various reasons, such as:

  • Incorrect database credentials (hostname, username, password, database name).
  • Firewall restrictions blocking access to the database.
  • Database server being temporarily unavailable.
  • Database server configuration issues.
  • Specific database settings preventing proper data retrieval.
