Migration

Hello there. Today I tried to move a site using Flarum to Discourse.
I have successfully installed the Discourse development environment on my Win 10 computer via WSL2.

I installed Mysql 5.7 version in development environment.

I have successfully imported the database into the development environment.

I installed mysql2 with the command gem install mysql2

I added the following to the end of the Gemfile with the sudo nano Gemfile command.

gem 'mysql2'

FLARUM_HOST ||= ENV['FLARUM_HOST'] || "localhost"
FLARUM_DB ||= ENV['FLARUM_DB'] || "flarum"
BATCH_SIZE ||= 1000
FLARUM_USER ||= ENV['FLARUM_USER'] || "mekici"
FLARUM_PW ||= ENV['FLARUM_PW'] || "mypass"

now bundle install followed by the following command:

bundle exec ruby ​​script/import_scripts/flarum_import.rb

and the error I get:

Loading existing groups...

Loading existing topics...
Traceback (most recent call last):

What am I doing wrong. It’s strange that it gives the MySQL connection error because the MySQL server is active and running. Am I doing something wrong?
