WampServer

I've got a large Drupal site up on webserver. The site is working well.

I need to make some major changes in the site, but I cannot bring myself to do it online.

It is just too risky with all the content on the site.

The site is downloaded (not archived) to my computer along with the (not archived) mysql database.

I have made a backup of the MySql and the application of course

-----------------------------------

I'm not sure how to install the mysql on the WAMP local server.

Is there a document or link to information on a step by step procedure?

Thanks

to setup db, follow this
[blog.jlbn.net]

make sure to have same name as in live host, then use phpmyadmin on live host to export drupal db including drop table then use phpmyadmin from wamp to import it

I did as you instructed.

When click to export it just creates a big text file of the MySql...

I think I need some more help from thereon.

How do I process it to import it into localhost Mysql?

Do, I copy and paste to a file on my computer and then import that file by PHPmyadmin into localhost?

after open phpmyadmin, click on db jsut created the click on import and browser to that backup sql file

Ok I have it on my local computer now...

When activate services, and phpmyadmin import it says "file uploads are not allowed on this server"

Should I create a db first by the same name as the DL file? Then import...

I tried creating the db first... doesn't work I still get message"File uploadsa re not allowed on this server".

check your php.ini to make sure you have this line

file_uploads = On
