--------------------------------------------------------
My install of WampServer went smoothly. I chose PHP, Apache and MySQL, versions that matched the hosting provider that I use for my online site.
Migrating my site over had an error with action scheduler that I skipped over because I did not know how to fix it, and Googling did not help.
WordPress database error Table '3123167_wpress212a8966.wp_actionscheduler_actions' doesn't exist for query SELECT a.action_id FROM wp_actionscheduler_actions a WHERE 1=1 AND a.status='complete' AND a.last_attempt_gmt <= '2021-01-08 19:18:10' ORDER BY a.scheduled_date_gmt ASC LIMIT 0, 20 made by do_action_ref_array('action_scheduler_run_queue'), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, ActionScheduler_QueueRunner->run, ActionScheduler_Abstract_QueueRunner->run_cleanup, ActionScheduler_QueueCleaner->clean, ActionScheduler_QueueCleaner->delete_old_actions, ActionScheduler_DBStore->query_actions
There are quite a few of these, all concerning action scheduler. I could only find reference to that in connection with Woo Commerce which I do not use, so I thought it would be ok to ignore.
My only issue that I am having with my migration to local, is that when I load WordPress, although it loads fine, I have a warning message at the top that states:
"MailPoet Error: Unable to connect to the database (the database is unable to open a file or folder), the connection is likely not configured correctly. Please read our Knowledge Base article for steps how to resolve it."
Going to the article supplied, it gave me two options to correct the database connection.
To open wp-config.php and change the DB_HOST from localhost to 127.0.0.1, which I did with no changes. I restarted WampServer and refreshed WordPress, still the error remained.
Googling found a suggestion of adding '127.0.0.1:3306', that did not help either.
The second option, I am unfamiliar with but did my best in trying to do as instructed. What stopped me is that I cannot find 'mysql.sock' anywhere. I looked through the whole wamp directory and nada.
Im unsure how to proceed, wondering if mysql.sock is not a Wamp thing or maybe not a Windows or localhost thing?
Thank you!
