Restore PS from web to local WAMP server

[michaelbragg]

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. It is greatly appreciated.

 

I installed Wamp Server on my PC since everytime I do something with my hosting company their servers crash my website. I'm trying to transfer my files from my hosting company to the Wamp server.

 

What files do I need please?

 

Do I just transfer the www or bootstrap files to the wamp server?

Hello,

Please download all the files from your web server and then the database.

 1) Move the downloaded files in your wamp server . for example http://localhost/yoursite(folder)

2) Import the database to your wamp database. And before importing your database table please find and replace the live server url to your (http://localhost/yoursite)

3) then change the htaccess path . like "/yoursite"

4) Finish

 

If you find any issues after this, please mention it here, I am happy to help you on this.

 

Thank you
