WampServer

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or somehow explain the steps to take in reproducing a production website locally on WampServer? I assume you copy the files in the www folder, then export the database from the production website, and import it into WampServer using phpmadmin. But then what files do you need to change? Etc.

Thanks for your help.

You can add a folder to Wamp if you want to run multiple projects without loosing wamp homepage.

Create a folder your_site/ in www folder.
Do what you said, without forgetting to create mysql users.
Use phpinfo() on your server to know every options you have, to reproduce the same locally
=> see php.ini in wamp menu -> PHP
=> see php extensions in wamp menu -> PHP -> extensions

Then simply run 'http://127.0.0.1/your_site/'

Nothing else to change.

I copied all files from the live server to a folder in wamp\www. Then I imported the sql files. I didn't have a phpinfo() on the live server as wampserver does. I couldn't find a php.ini or php extensions in wampserver.

I'm getting an error when I try to open my website out of wampserver:

"Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL"

The live website doesn't have a MySQL database, as shown thru phpMyAdmin. This is all very confusing. I was hoping it would be simpler. Help!

oh course it has a mysql database... u have sql file!

ul need to setup mysql onwamp with the same useras ur live site

What I meant was that my live site doesn't have a database named mysql when I go into phpMyAdmin. The wampserver does have a database named mysql. Both databases that I imported appear under the username of my live website. How do you setup the wamp mysql with this username?

I added the user to MySql but still get the message: "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL." when I click on the website name under 'Your Projects' on the WampServer home page.

check your script and make sure the data in the connection part associated w/ info you used in setup db
