cmonster on "InstantWP and Duplicator plugin: Test Connection fails"

Hello --

I'm using InstantWP v4.4.2 and Duplicator v0.5.12.

I get Duplicator failures when testing the server and DB connection to my localhost.

config:Server=localhost; Database=wordpress; Uid=root; Pwd=; Port=3306 -- the default config.

- I've made sure that only one instance of mysql is running
- I can successfully log into mysql admin with InstantWP
- I don't have WAMP or XAMP installed what-so-ever

I've successfully installed locally using Duplicator on a different computer using WAMP but I'd like to use the portability of InstallWP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
