Copy production version to local (1.7)

[Leemon]

Hello,

I have a production version which runs normally on prestashop v1.7.

I would like to copy that version and make it work on my local computer using wamp server.

I tried a lot of things, searching for a lot of posts and I still don't manage to get it work

Here is what I did :

Common to my 2 techniques tried (see below) :

• I installed wamp server
• I created a database for mywebsite and filled it with my production database
• I changed the domain in ps_configuration and ps_shop_url to localhost and also changed the directory in ps_shop_url
• I updated the app/config/parameters.php file to set my db name, user and password
• I emptied the cache from app/cache

 

1st technique tried

• I copied all my files from my hosting server to my wamp/www folder
• I deleted the .htaccess file at the root my folder

When I try to access to http://localhost/mysite/adminpro (adminpro is my admin folder name) I got a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED...

Same result for http://localhost/mysite.

 

2nd technique tried

I explain below that I managed to get a fresh prestashop work on local.

• I erased all my folder in mysite directory except the adminpro folder
• I copied all folders from my fresh prestashop to mysite folder except the admin folder
• I updated the parameter.php file for the db connection

When I try to access to http://localhost/mysite/adminpro I get a blank page and when I try to access to http://localhost/mysite I get an error 500.

 

Please notice that I also tried a normal installation of a fresh prestashop and it works fine so my wamp seems ok with prestashop.

I don't know what I missed and I am getting desperate about it

Thanks a lot for your help !
