Kier Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Hi There! I have been playing with an older version of my live site on my local machine for some time now. I originally took my 1.4.9.0 version live site, got it working locally using xampp, and updated it to 1.5.4.0. I have been trying out a new theme to see how it works. Anyway, I am now trying to setup my live site again with the current live database but can't get it to work! I download a current version of my live site including the database, recreate the database locally and import the tables, change the settings.inc file, change ps_domain tables in the database to localhost but when I try to bring up my site IE says page not found. I then try the backoffice and the login screen appears, but doesn't recognize my login ID and password. Would anybody have any idea what might be going on? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Kier, I don't understand, you are trying to put your live site to a localhost? Or a localhost to a live site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kier Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi Benjamin, Thanks for your reply. Sorry I realize my description is a little cryptic. I am trying to put my live site to localhost. I have done this before without issue, but for some reason I can't seem to make it work with the current live database (if the database is the problem that is). I have an older version of the database and site that works locally just fine. But I can't seem to see why I can't get what I currently have live, working locally. The database has grown somewhat..perhaps this is the issue. I'm stumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kier Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 K, I tried using my current version of my live site and a database I had downloaded from my remote server back in April. Same problem. Cannot find home page when I try and BO does not recognize my login credentials.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kier Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Sorry for all the posts but another bit of info in case it helps. I have also tried downloading my current live site and database and updating to 1.5.5 locally. First try the update failed due to the database missing the table ps_product_shop. I added that table manually and then the update seemed to work with result=ok in the xml script. However, once I tried the homepage, a page came up, "Oops something went wrong" and as before the BO didn't recognize my login... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kier Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Found the problem!! The settings.inc file was missing: define('_DB_PREFIX_', 'ps_'); Everything works now. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
