Hey all,
I want to install a copy of my website (http://www.ozesports.net.au) on my local copy of wamp. Wamp is installed correctly. I want to install locally so I can test an upgrade to 1.8 and make sure all my theme and everything is in order before I upgrade on my actual web server.
This is what I have done so far:
1. Log into myPhpAdmin on my web server, and exported a copy of my database.
2. Via ftp, copied the entire contents of my public_html/www directory to my computer (this contains all my forum files) into a foler called 'ozesports'.
3. Create database, same name as on my web server (matches /inc/config.php details). Verified contents and everything
4. Create user + password, same as on web server (matches /inc/config.php details).
5. Copied the 'ozesports' folder created in step 2, to C:/wamp/www/
Annnnd I'm stuck now. If I go to http://localhost, under 'Your Projects' there is a folder called ozesports. When I click this I'd imagine it should take me to the forum (Http://localhost/ozesports/index.php) instead I just get a page "This web page is unavailable". If I manually type in Http://localhost/ozesports/index.php I get the error:
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at [email protected] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log."
Following are the details in C:/wamp/www/ozesports/inc/config.php:
$config['database']['type'] = 'mysqli';
$config['database']['database'] = '**matches db name**';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';
$config['database']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['database']['username'] = '**matches db username**';
$config['database']['password'] = '**matches db password**';
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
PS. I have found plenty of instructions regarding installation of a fresh myBB installation on wamp, and have actually done this before (during initial setup of my forum several years ago), however, nothing on migrating from a Web Server back to localhost.
