I am running WAMP and have pulled one of my sites down from the server that I need to work on locally. Can someone give me some pointers on how to get it running? I have done this with a Drupal site in the past and it runs like a charm.
Thanks for your help-
You need to make sure that your server will behave in the same way your server did.
To test PHP. On your server create a new file then use the PHP info function to see what php specs the server has. Then make sure your computer has this.
You will then need to edit all the config files for drupal to make it point to your MySQL database locally. Remember that by default WAMP doesn't use usernames in MySQL so you will have to set that up too.
They are just the basics to get it running, you will probably find smaller problems after you run it locally.
