Dvelop IT

You are a legend! thanks so much ??

Thanks for your help – got it sorted by importing through phpMyAdmin. Cheers.

Hi I have simply copied the database file to the directory specified in MAMP ../db/mysql

how do I go about modifying the paths to get the wordpress install ‘talking’ to the database in its new location. (sorry first time trying to install locally so its quite different for me) Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks for your help – I have removed the .htaccess code which as you mentioned will show the previous database error. However the wp-config file is exactly the same credentials as the version on the live hosting environment so it cant be an issue with the user/password details. I am not familiar with MAMP or local hosting environments so not sure if there is anything different I need to do with linking the database? I have followed the MAMP instructions and have placed the .sql file in ../db/mysql/

Anything I’m missing?

Thanks heaps that did the trick!
