Went back and downloaded just the wordpress database without the information schema database. Things didn’t get better. More error messages. I guess I’m not remotely understanding what Mark is telling me. At any rate, I’m back at square one. I have a MAMP database with a clean copy of wordpress in it. I have FTP access to my wordpress files on my remote server. I use godaddy for my remote server. How do I more or less clone my remote site (www.montrealrampage.com) onto my local version of the site (to “localhost:8888/devsite”) from here so I can work on improving my category pages and such.

Please be really clear about these steps. Even walking me through a few of them would really help!

I get the following error message when trying to import my downloaded database into MAMP’s database on the localhost

SQL query:

—
— Database: information_schema
—
CREATE DATABASE information_schema DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

MySQL said: Documentation

#1044 – Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ to database ‘information_schema’
